... new satellites are launched to replace older designs. They are in these high orbits for several reasons, including more accurate orbits, more survivable locations, and a larger area of coverage. Each satellite has multiple atomic clocks, which are accurate to a few nanoseconds. The satellites constantly ...

... as satellite instrumentation, communications, tracking and trajectories. Typical titles in Volume 3 are: "The Capture Problem in the Three-Body Restricted Orbital Problem," "The Libration of a Satellite," "Perturbations in the Orbits of Artificial Satellites Caused by Air Resistance," "Tracking of Artificial Satellites Based on Expected Point of Arrival ...

Satellites operate outside most of the atmosphere, so there is very little resistance to their motion. They are launched into orbit horizontally at speeds of at least 17,500 miles per hour ... the lowest orbital altitudes, there are some very thin traces of atmosphere which will eventually cause a satellite's orbit to drop lower. Beyond this low orbit regime, a satellite can remain in orbit forever. ---- Answer ...
