How do Satellites work? | ICT #10

We live our lives knowing that many satellites orbit our planet everyday, and that they are helping us in several ways. You might be surprised to know that there are almost 4,900 satellites orbiting the earth. The most obvious questions that come to mind are: Why are these satellites in totally different orbits? How does a satellite carry out all of its functions? And, what are the components inside them, which help them to accomplish all of their allotted tasks? Let's explore the answers to all these questions in detail.

This has got to be one of the best explanation in layman terms to a hobbyist. Thanks for making such good quality but concise presentation

5:14 I work in satcom and my company does TT&C (tracking, telemetry and control) of a few old geo satellites for this at an earth station. We provide all the data directly to the spacecraft owners.

Really enjoy that you go from Leo to Geo then back in the middle. These videos are fun I learn alot.

I love studying these type of things some people have online class thats why they came here maybe but i came here for my online class

So... We just leave dead satellites up there, even after 66 years since the first launch. We just never chose to find a way to recover the material.

This is such an engaging topic! With nearly 4, 900 satellites in orbit, understanding their diverse functions and orbits is key to appreciating how they shape our daily lives.

At The SpaceLead, I recently broke down the components and innovations driving modern satellite systems, including advancements in AI and mission autonomy.

It’s incredible how these technologies are enabling smarter operations in space. Keep exploring topics like this—there’s so much potential to unlock in space tech!

Finally I got the the correct knowledge on satellite, Thank You

1:06 Hate to be the nerd here but, that is not true. Small air particles escape the atmosphere and all satellites hit these particles. This creates a very small amount of deceleration called "Orbital Decay". While this is a slow process, most satellites use RCS or Ion engines to counter this. Sorry for my nerd lesson, it was your fault for reading the entire thing. Also there are more reasons for orbital decay but, this was one of the more simple ones.

I love the lesics teaching quality. It covers the concepts deeply by diving deeper & i like to dive deeper in every single concept. Keep it up ⚡

Very helpful and informative video for competitive exams and for the general knowledge as well.

This video was so interesting that it felt like, it ended in a fraction of second....

dear ! This is the best topic for me.I like so much ! I really interesting to ICT Topics .thank you,

[sebastien]

loved it thx ... never had that much motion sickness in a video thought .. !!

It's a great video, but one thing, as a physicist there is one thing the has sneaked into the public vernacular that is not correct:
There is no such thing as centrifical force.
What they mean to say is:
Centripetal = center seeking force (centri = center). Ex. Gravity
Centrifugal = away from center force (fug = away). Ex. The velocity of the satellite

best video on yt to explain " how satellites work?"

[GyanerDisha]

Thank you for such a easy and best explanation 😊

[Thegunsonthego]

the visuals you have provided are truly astonishing. Thank you for the good work

[GraceEngineering]

When debating flat earthers, I pull up and share videos like this.

[Jaiysful]

Extremely clear and well-illustrated vid. I LOVE IT. Thank you.

[malayhere]

Thanks for this amazing animated video. Your every single video is wonderful & full of knowledge.
