What else can I help you with?
Pictures of the surface based on data collected by landsat are called?
Satellite Images.
Why is shape of satellite footprint is irregular?
It is not irregular: it is simply the projection of a regular curve onto the surface of a sphere.
Is an orbiting satellite has a diameter of 60 cm what is the total surface area of the satellite?
60 cm diameter sphere area = pi x 602 cm2 = 11310 cm2 = 1.131 m2
When would an antenna have an elevation pointing angle of 90 degrees?
An antenna would have an elevation pointing angle of 90 degrees when it is oriented directly upwards, perpendicular to the Earth's surface. This configuration is typically used for applications involving satellite communications, where signals are directed straight up to satellites in geostationary orbits. In this position, the antenna receives signals from or transmits signals to satellites overhead, maximizing the line of sight.
What is the weight in newtons of a 5kg mass?
That depends on the amount of gravity, of course. Weight = mass x gravity. Near the Earth's surface, the value for gravity is approximately 9.8 (meters per square seconds).That depends on the amount of gravity, of course. Weight = mass x gravity.

What is a landsat satellite?
A satellite that observes Earth's surface.
What are various satellite sub-systems?
how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface how a satellite can appear to be stationary above the earth´s surface
Which is the height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately?
The height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles).
What is the rotation period of geostationary satellite?
The rotation period of a geostationary satellite is equal to one sidereal day, which is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. This period matches the time it takes for the satellite to orbit the Earth once and remain fixed relative to a specific point on the Earth's surface.
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
What is a satellite in astronomy terms?
A satellite orbits another body. The moon is a natural satellite of the earth. For awhile, LCROSS was a satellite of the moon (until we smashed it into the lunar surface).
How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?
The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
What is the earth surface where a satellite signal can be received?
Footprint
Why geostationary satellite not falling to ground?
Because they're moving 'sideways' at more than 6,000 miles per hour, out where the acceleration of gravity is only about 3% of what it is on Earth's surface. The satellite is falling allright, but the Earth's curved surface is falling away exactly as fast as the satellite itself is falling toward it, so the satellite's altitiude above the surface never changes.
How many seconds does it take for a microwave to travel from earth to the satellite and back to earth?
Assuming a geosyncronous communications satellite, it is 35,900 km above the surface of the earth. If you are directly beneath it, a microwave will travel at the speed of light (300,000km/s) there and back through this distance. Thus: 2 * 35,900 /300,000 = 0.240 seconds. Note that this is larger if the sender and recipient are located far away, because of the angle.
What is sub satellite point?
A subsatellite point is the point on the Earth's surface directly below a satellite in orbit. This point moves as the satellite orbits the Earth. The subsatellite point is also called the nadir point.
What is the duration of Below the Surface?
The duration of Below the Surface is 3300.0 seconds.
