   Extractions: Welcome to the new-look Heavens-Above! If you're interested in satellites or astronomy, you've come to the right place! Our aim is to provide you with all the information you need to observe satellites such as the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle , spectacular events such as the dazzlingly bright flares from Iridium satellites as well as a wealth of other spaceflight and astronomical information. We not only provide the times of visibility, but also detailed star charts showing the satellite's track through the heavens. All our pages, including the graphics, are generated in real-time and customized for your location and time zone. Frequent visitors will notice we have changed the appearance of the site somewhat and added the option of user registration. This has been done to open the door to a host of new, customisable features which will be appearing over the coming months.

   Extractions: You want to know about LEOs, you've got it. Upside These pages form an index to useful web information discussing satellite constellations. You won't gain a complete picture of what any proposed constellation is capable of, or really in-depth technical details, but you will gain an idea of what the developments in this area are, where the industry and technology is headed - and you will pick up background knowledge of satellites along the way. These pages do not discuss stellar constellations beloved of night-sky watchers everywhere. This is not intended to be a guide to individual satellites in geostationary orbit . Nor is this one of those fashionable weblog things - a weblog is just a chonological most-recent-first diary where old entries are left unchanged, making less sense over time as context fades and links break, while this tries to be continually useful by updating text and links when possible although it's really something of a cluttered mess.

    Extractions: HOW TO KEEP THE SATELLITE ON ORBIT Istanbul, 1999 Senol Gulgonul is electronics engineer, currently working data communication and networking via satellite. Mail address is Email In this paper, I will try to explain how to keep geostationary communication satellites on orbit. Communication satellites must stay stationary with respect to the earth. Only in this way we can watch TV via small and fixed antennas. To achieve this stationary position, satellite must have 24 hours turning period like earth. Period is given in this formula, means that it is only parameter of radius. Thus, radius must be R=42,164 km. to have 24 hours period. Earth radius is 6378 km. we can conclude as: satellite distance to the earth surface must be 35,768 km Figure - 1. Geo-stationary communication satellites are 35,768 Km far from earth surface Other requirement for geostationary communication satellites is : orbit plane must lay on equatorial plane. Otherwise, satellite projection to the earth will be like number eight (8). Figure - 2. A communication satellite with an orbit plane does not lay on equatorial plane

    Extractions: In little over a third of a century, the launching of a satellite has gone from stopping the nations' business to guaranteeing that it runs like clockwork. Today, satellites are commonplace tools of technology, like clocks, telephones, and computers. Satellites serve us for navigation, communications, environmental monitoring, and weather forecasting. Appropriately, the word satellite means an attendant. In 1957, the launching of the Russian satellite Sputnik changed the course of our nation. The United States immediately launched massive efforts to compete against a "backward" empire in a breakneck Race to the Moon. In the space of a decade, our nation of arm-chair explorers sat glued to their television sets while Alan Shepard went up and down in a Mercury capsule in 1961, as John Glenn circled the globe 3 times in 1962, and when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon in 1969. That sense of discovery has become muted over time as we became accustomed to miracles of space travel. The launching of a Space Shuttle mission may not even come up in a class discussion of current events (unless those students are involved in the classroom use of satellite technology). Yet satellites bring those same students the Olympics, the weather, and news of other events from around the world that are considered "newsworthy." What is a satellite?
