Settler What is this picture of ?

Learning Objectives To know what a satellite is To know some uses of artificial satellites To understand the differences between polar and geostationary orbits and where they are used

Success criteria Produce a list of uses of satellites, and correctly identify the type of orbit. (Grade C) Calculate orbit time and speed for satellites and explain differences. (Grade A) Draw a scale diagram to determine the number of satellites needed to provide coverage for the entire earth.

Starter - Satellites On one post it note write down a definition for a satellite On the second post it note write down as many uses of satellites as you can

Satellites A satellite is:Uses of satellites

Artificial satellites There are two types:  Polar satellites – their orbits pass over both poles  Geostationary satellites – orbit above the equator, staying above the same point on the earth.

Uses of satellites 1.Make a table with 2 columns labelled “Polar satellites” and “Geostationary satellites”. 2.Put each of the uses of satellites produced in the starter into the appropriate column.

Copy and complete: Satellite Distance from centre of Earth (km) Orbit time (hours) Orbital speed (m/s) Polar or geostationary? Meteosat Geostationary NOAA Polar 1.What do you notice about distance of the orbits of geostationary satellites compared to polar satellites? 2.What do you notice about the orbit time for each type of satellite?

Team challenge Question: How many geostationary satellites does it take to observe the entire Earth? Use what you have been given (A4 paper, compass, pencil, ruler, calculator) to draw a scale diagram to help you answer the question. Information: – Radius of Earth is 6400km – Geostationary orbit is km above the equator.

Circular motion For objects to move in a circle there needs to be a force acting towards the centre of the circle. This force is called the centripetal force. For satellites moving around the Earth the centripetal force is provided by gravity

Why will a satellite closer to earth have a shorter orbit time? 1.Close to earth so strong gravitational attraction (large centripetal acceleration). 2.Shorter orbit.

Homework Homework 1 on Space exploration and satellites
