Satellite deployment refers to the process of placing a satellite into its designated orbit around the Earth. This is typically done using a rocket, which carries the satellite into space and releases it at the right altitude and speed. Once in orbit, the satellite can begin its mission, whether it's for communication, weather monitoring, or scientific research.
After deployment, satellites are monitored and controlled from ground stations. These stations ensure that the satellite is functioning correctly and can adjust its position if necessary. Successful satellite deployment is crucial for various applications, including global positioning systems (GPS) and telecommunications, impacting everyday life significantly.
