Introduction
A satellite is any body that moves around another one in a
mathematically predictable path called orbit.
Communications satellite : relays and amplifies radio
telecommunication signals via transponder.
The first man made satellite with radio transmission was in
1957.
Currently there are approximately 1071 artificial satellites
orbiting the earth.
