Satellites: The Story of Satellites | Science Trek

Satellites are objects, either natural or human-made that orbit around a star, planet, even an asteroid. The Moon is earth’s natural satellite. But there’s lots of human-made satellites revolving around Earth too. Find out more.

Satellites ['sa-tǝ-,līt-z]
A natural or human-made body orbiting a star, planet, or other solar body.

The moon is the Earth's natural satellite and the planets are satellites of the Sun. The first human- made satellite was Sputnik 1, launched in 1957. It started a revolution. Satellites now take pictures to help us predict the weather. They beam TV signals and phone calls around the world. They help us find our way on Earth and explore beyond our galaxy.
