Time.com People Fortune EW Sleuths try to unmask new spy satellites A previous launch of an Atlas 2AS By Richard Stenger CNN (CNN) Amateur space detectives think they have identified the top-secret payload that roared into orbit on an Atlas rocket this weekend. The U.S. military gave few details about the Saturday morning launch from California, other than saying an Atlas 2AS carried aloft something for the National Reconnaissance Office, the U.S. spy satellite agency. Vandenberg Air Force Base, which hosted its first space launch of the year, said the NRO payload was released into a transfer orbit as planned about an hour after launch. Hobby spacecraft watchers, using launch window and flight path data, suspect that the Atlas carried a spy satellite cluster designed to fly from pole to pole and eavesdrop on ocean vessels. Some spotted the rocket and its payload after launch, but poor visibility conditions prevented them from confirming what was onboard, according to SeeSat-L, an Internet mailing list for visual satellite observers.

SATELLITES OF THE OUTER PLANETS The satellites of the giant outer planets are a surprisingly diverse group of bodies. Most are composed of mixtures of water and other ices, including most likely ammonia ice, and rocky material. An amazing variety of unusual and spectacular geologic features are observed on these satellites, including active volcanism on two of them, which are illustrated on these pages. Also discussed are some of the processes that form them and the important issues they raise for geologists. Click on each image to view at full resolution or to access individual Web pages. A few of these images are stereo (three-dimensional) images, which are highlighted by the stereo symbol. Additional 3-D images of the satellites are available on the 3-D Tour of the Solar System The Galilean Satellites The four large Galilean Satellites of Jupiter (from left to right in mosaic Io Europa Ganymede , and Callisto ) resemble a miniature solar system. The global density, relative amount of rocky material, and duration and intensity of geologic activity on each satellite all decrease with increasing distance from Jupiter. Each satellite is very distinctive in appearance and geologic history. Io, the densest and innermost major satellite, is volcanically active today. Europa has a highly fractured, young icy outer shell. Ganymede has a complex volcanic and tectonic history, and Callisto, the least dense and outermost satellite, is heavily cratered and rather bland by comparison. The geologic histories of these satellites are related to tidal deformation and heating, which is more intense closer to Jupiter.

Iridium telephone service became operational September 1998 However, the origin Iridium Satellite Phone system went into Charter 11 bankrupcy. In March/April 2001 the service was once more operational, after a group of investors purchased the existing satellite system, that had cost over 5 billion US $, for a mere US$25 million.

Jonathan McDowell, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said in telephone interviews with Reuters on Wednesday and Thursday that nearly all of the omissions were due to administrative error. He played down any danger that weapons systems were being put in orbit, but singled out the United States, saying the issue was of growing concern as President Bush considers plans for a national missile defense system that could include some space-based systems. The United States is conducting a sweeping review of its defense capabilities and is considering spending billions of dollars for development of the system. "I can say the U.S. doesn't have 50 laser battle stations in space, but the more cavalier you are with this registration convention, the harder it is for us to have confidence that we can say that," McDowell said.

Satellites orbit the Earth, carrying sensors or other instruments. Many of these instruments use radar, visible light, or other means to produce pictures of the Earth. Others like the Argos System can locate transmitters on the Earth's surface and report the location or relay information from the transmitters to ground receiving stations. We will use the Argos System to locate the transmitters on travelling albatrosses in the Hawaiian Islands. At the nesting colony we will attach the transmitters to albatrosses when they are at their nests. From that point on, the Argos satellites will look for the transmitters every time they pass over the northern Pacific. If they locate one of the transmitters, they relay the location to ground stations in either Alaska, Virginia, or France. Eventually all of the location data end up in France, where they are processed and then sent every morning at 1:00 AM Eastern USA time to us at Wake Forest University, and we send the daily data on to the students participating in The Albatross Project.

GOES Satellites geostationary operational environmental satellites Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) circle the Earth in a geosynchronous orbit over the equator. This means they observe the Earth from the exact same place all the time. This allows the GOES satellites to continuously monitor a single position on the earth's surface. From 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) above the earth, GOES satellites provide half-hourly observations of the earth and its environment. Earth coverage of the GOES-8 and GOES-10 satellites has been depicted below. Images provided by: Satellite Coverages and Orbits (NCAR) GOES satellites are owned and operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) while the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) manages the design, development and launch of the spacecraft. Once launched, NOAA once again resumes responsibility for the satellites. There are other geostationary satellites operated by other countries wihich contribute to cover the rest of the Earth. The first geostationary weather satellite (GOES-1) was launched on October 16, 1975 and quickly became a critical part of the

The pair of probes is scheduled to be launched no earlier than September 13 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on a Delta II rocket. One satellite, the $300 million Jason-1, eventually will replace the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite that has been monitoring the oceans for more than 8 years. TOPEX has improved global climate predictions and monitoring of weather events such as El Nino, according to Lee-Lueng Fu, project scientist for Jason-1 at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California. Jason-1, a joint project with France, will measure sea levels, help scientists map the topography of the oceans, and determine how oceans affect climate. Technicians work on the TIMED satellite "It's a mission to measure the oceans' interaction with climate change," said Fu.

95. Satellite Meteorology: Online Remote Sensing Guide satellites serve a wide variety of purposes from transmission of television signals via communication satellites to guidance and tracking systems of defense http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/rs/sat/home.rxml

Graphic developed by: Steven E. Hall The Webster dictionary defines a satellite as a man-made object put into orbit around a celestial body, like the earth or the moon. Satellites serve a wide variety of purposes from transmission of television signals via communication satellites to guidance and tracking systems of defense satellites. For meteorologists, satellites provide a comprehensive view of the world's weather by observing weather and the environment on a scale not possible by other means. On April 1, 1960, the nation's first weather satellite, "TIROS I" was launched into orbit. Soon after, meteorologists saw the first pictures of a midlatitude cyclone over the northeastern United States. A new era had begun. Since then, weather satellites have been launched into orbit and their capabilities have improved significantly. Today, not only do satellites observe clouds, but measure other non- visible radiation from the earth and atmosphere. This helps us to estimate such aspects as crop and soil conditions as well as monitor concentrations of atmospheric ozone and many other global characteristics. The purpose of this module is to examine Earth observing satellites and their capabilities in greater detail, focusing on two satellite orbital groups in particular;

By Robert Windrem NBC News producer Updated: 3:48 p.m. ET Oct.09, 2001 Aug. 8, 1998 - For more than 35 years, spy satellites have roamed the skies 100 miles above the Earth. They’ve become increasingly powerful over the years — but intelligence experts say the real revolution in satellite imagery today is taking place on the ground, not in the skies. TRAVELING AT MACH 25, they pass over every spot on the face of the Earth twice a day, grabbing digital snapshots of places that the CIA — and the policymakers and military officers it serves — want to see. From missile fields in China or Russia to environmental disaster areas in the Sahel, the spy satellites provide a steady stream of black-and-white images. Much has been written about these billion-dollar “birds,” five of which are overhead on any given day. Even though their design, code names and capability are classified beyond top secret, there have been enough leaks over the years to sketch out some basic information about them.

Search Inventors The History of Satellites Sputnik and The Dawn of the Space Age Original Information provided by Roger D. Launius NASA Chief Historian and NASA History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I . The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a basketball, weighed only 183 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path. That launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. While the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race. The story begins in 1952, when the International Council of Scientific Unions decided to establish July 1, 1957, to December 31, 1958, as the International Geophysical Year (IGY) because the scientists knew that the cycles of solar activity would be at a high point then. In October 1954, the council adopted a resolution calling for artificial satellites to be launched during the IGY to map the Earth's surface.
