Satellite development involves the design, construction, and testing of satellites that orbit the Earth or other celestial bodies. These satellites serve various purposes, including communication, weather monitoring, and scientific research. Engineers and scientists work together to create satellites that can withstand harsh conditions in space and perform their intended functions effectively. The process typically starts with defining the satellite's mission and requirements. Then, teams create prototypes and conduct rigorous testing to ensure reliability. Once finalized, the satellite is launched into space using a rocket, such as those developed by SpaceX or NASA, where it begins its operational life.
