Satellites


With the evolution of technology satellites have made there way into space to help assist people of different nations in many ways. Although the first satellite was launched in 1957 by the Soviet Union the many developments since than have allowed thousands of satellites to be placed into orbit around the earth to help assist the everyday person in many different such as GPS systems (global positioning system) to help navigate us, allowing the general public the use of cellular phones, and to receive weather information anywhere in the world. Without satellites communication technology we as society would have a huge disadvantage in assisting everyday people with their day to day operations. Furthermore, satellites assist militaries of different nations in defending themselves through constant communication throughout the world with their different branches. The further technology keeps pushing the further our need for faster and more convenient forms of communication and satellites are one of the many keys in communication from past to present to the future

  1. I think satellites are really useful because you can communicate with you loved once really fast. Satellites helps people know about the weather. It is really hard to launch one but after it is launch you get lots of benefit out of satellite. In my opinion you can say that satellite brings people and countries closer. It helps people in many different ways. It is one of the best technology discovered until now. As it is said that GPS system help us navigate through the road or ways we never been. it tells you the direction and if you went the wrong way then it also tells you an alternate way.
