... all shapes and sizes. Weighing about 180 pounds, Sputnik 1 was a shiny aluminum ball just two feet in diameter, with four "sweptback" antennas. Inmarsat 4, a more recent communications satellite, weighs 100 times more, has a width of 150 feet with its solar cells extended, and is as tall as a house.

Abstract
Life on Earth exists, and may well have begun, at hot springs on the deep ocean floor. This life is ... satellites of the outer planets. Of all the possible candidate worlds, Europa is the likeliest to harbour life today, because there is abundant morphological evidence that its surface ice is thin and ...
... investigating aerosol characteristics or winds in the atmosphere, locating geological faults, mapping historical or archaeological sites, measuring ocean waves, and producing detailed topographic maps. The joint US NASA/French CNES CALIPSO satellite (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation) was launched in 2006, and provides the global observation of clouds and aerosols to understand their role in the Earth’s weather and climate ...
... and detected. Typical lidar and radar measurements include sounding and profiling of the atmosphere to deduce the atmospheric composition, cloud and aerosol distributions, major/minor trace gas content and wind speeds and directions. Lidar and ...
... that space missions can have. For example, there is the payload of an Earth observation satellite, which might consist of photographic, radar or multi-spectral instruments to image the Earth. ... the Martian surface.
The Mars Pathfinder mission carried a series of scientific instruments to analyze the Martian atmosphere, climate, geology and the composition of its rocks and soil. It was a ...
