Question

Why don't satellites crash into each other?

• A. The orbit in which they revolve is too big, and thus it's rare that the satellite can crash.
• B. The researchers launch satellites at different times.
• C. The orbit of each satellite is defined with precise calculations by space researchers.
• D. If two satellites come closer, the researchers change their path.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The orbit of each satellite is defined with precise calculations by space researchers.

All the satellites in space move in their designated orbit around the Earth. The orbit of each satellite is defined with precise calculations by space researchers, implemented in the satellites using digital technology and radio signals sent from the Earth. These satellites have a control and navigation unit called Telemetry Tracking and Command
