Answers
Answer:
APPLICATIONS OF SPACE TECHNOLOGY:
Different types of satellite are sent into the space for different purposes. The most important categories of satellites are:-
1. Communication Satellite
2. Weather Satellite
3. Spy Satellite
1. COMMUNICATION SATELLITE:
Communication satellite can help in relaying telephone, telex and T.W. transmission to the remotest corners of the world. The satellite is placed in orbit above Earth's equator at the height of 35,680 km and takes 24 hours to spin round it's own axis. So in relation to earth it remains stationary.
2. WEATHER SATELLITE:
This type of satellite is primarily meant together information about the weather. It can predict cyclones and rains very accurately. They help in studying the distribution of cloud, ice and snow over Earth and in measuring the temperature of the atmosphere and ocean. Weather satellite are placed into synchronous orbit to monitor large area of Earth.
3. SPY SATELLITE:
Spy satellite are observation satellites, meant to get information about secret military activities and installations of the enemy.
These are the applications of space technology.
Space technology is technology developed by scientists for space science or exo earth :p for use in spaceflight, discovering new things, satellites etc.
Applications are following :
1) Satellites enable us to communicate with each other.
2) Mass media or electronic things are based on it.
3) Discovering new things like about Universe, outer space etc.
4) Help countries to establish a dominancy on the world.
5) Help to find out weather conditions all over the world.
