Satellite technology refers to the design, development, and application of satellites for various purposes such as communication, navigation, weather monitoring, Earth observation, and scientific research. This technology encompasses the methods and systems used to launch, operate, and manage satellites in orbit around the Earth or other celestial bodies. It includes components such as satellite sensors, antennas, power systems, and propulsion mechanisms, as well as the ground systems used to control satellites and process the data they collect.
Satellite technology plays a crucial role in modern society, enabling global communication networks, GPS navigation, broadcasting services, and disaster management. It also provides critical data for climate research, environmental monitoring, and defense applications. Advances in satellite technology continue to enhance capabilities such as miniaturization, increased data transmission rates, and improved imaging resolution, contributing to various fields, including telecommunications, geospatial analysis, and meteorology.
