A military satellite is a type of satellite specifically designed for defense and security purposes. These satellites are used for various functions, including reconnaissance, communication, navigation, and missile warning. They help military forces gather intelligence and maintain situational awareness in real-time. Military satellites operate in different orbits, such as low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit (GEO), depending on their mission. They play a crucial role in modern warfare by providing critical data to ground forces and enabling secure communication channels. This technology enhances the effectiveness and coordination of military operations globally.
