Satellites

Introduction With the beginning of the Space-Age, and the first iteration of Satellite Imagery, society saw progress in many fields for the betterment of welfare, security and knowledge. This new form of imagery has influenced the way we monitor, map, plan and preserve our world, as well as how we perceive our universe. This study hopes to discuss the major changes satellite imagery has had on archeology, meteorology, and political or military surveillance. It will also include a brief discussion at the end of each topic where applicable, involving the impact Satellite Imagery has had on the welfare of the populace, urban development, the economy and what would be lost without the technology. Methodological Statements Research was mainly collected…

The design for a satellite to photograph the surface of the earth requires a list of desired features, prioritized from most to least importance, and balanced against the physics of nature’s various waves. To photograph natural and man-made objects on the earth’s surface, the camera must be in the proper location, contain ample power to operate all systems, contain sufficient image resolution to capture the target area, and have the ability to transmit the digital images quickly and reliably to…

How satellites have been used to help society? A satellite is a space body which has been created by colliding of two or more space objects (for ex. meteorites). There are two types of satellites: natural satellites (like moon, an earth’s satellite) and man-made (artificial), satellites launched to the orbit by people. Natural satellites A natural satellite is space body that orbits another space body bigger than itself. Natural satellites are not man-made satellites. They come from space…

Communication satellites, used for relaying anything from telephone signals, radio, and television signals, have been orbiting Earth since the first in 1962. Currently, there are more than 1,100 publically and privately owned active communication satellites in orbit with more than 2,600 inactive ones causing a significant amount of space debris. Importantly, communication satellites provide our security and our entertainment. At a high altitude of nearly 36,000km from Earth, the geosynchronous…

Satellite TV went through many stages of development throughout the years before it became what it is today. Today, Satellite TV has competition among the latest technology in the industry. Many children watch the well-developed satellite TV every day. Some children are experiencing problems from seeing violence on TV. Many years ago, North American and European residents had to wait a few days to receive tapes, so they could watch footage from the other side of the ocean (Klein, 2012). In…

Frequency of Purchase Satellite television subscriptions are expensive, and most companies lock consumers into a contract. These contracts can range from one year all the way to three years, but they typically run around two years according to the data. A recent study of individuals who have pay-T.V. subscriptions shows that on average they spend $128.83 a month on satellite television subscriptions (Content Consumption, 2016). Because of the high prices and contracts that customers must be…

creation of the first Earth satellite. The satellite named Sputnik I was launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957 and orbited the Earth for three months. At this moment the Soviet Union had officially started the Space Race and was currently in the lead. During this time the US citizens reacted differently. “From the 1950's, the United States and the Soviet Union attempted to surpass each other in feats of space exploration. What became known as "the space race" began with the Soviet's…

(1650)The Governmental Abuse of Power: The Unethical Misuse of Satellite Surveillance Technology in Enemy of the State (1998) This film study will define the unethical misuse of satellite surveillance technology by the government in Enemy of the State (1998), which is a form of governmental abuse of the privacy and legal rights of the citizen. The use of satellite technology in this film defines the power of the National Security Agency (NSA) to observe and monitor the general public as a form…
