Satellite deployment refers to the process of placing a satellite into its designated orbit around the Earth or another celestial body. This is typically achieved using a rocket, which carries the satellite into space and releases it at the correct altitude and velocity. The satellite then uses its onboard systems to maneuver into its final orbit. Once in orbit, the satellite can begin its intended functions, such as communication, weather monitoring, or Earth observation. Proper deployment is crucial for ensuring that the satellite operates effectively and can fulfill its mission objectives throughout its operational lifespan.
