ARTIFICIAL SATELLITES INTRODUCTION: An Artificial Satellite is a people-made machine that orbits a variety of other objects in space. Many Artificial Satellites orbit the Earth to gather information about the universe‚ to predict the weather‚ to help with the navigation of ships and planes‚ to assist in telephone calls over the ocean‚ to observe the Earth‚ and as a tool to improve military activities. Though Artificial Satellites have mostly orbited Earth‚ some have orbited the moon‚ the sun
