Satellites are a device that is sent up in the atmosphere to use as a spy and as a way to tell weather and many different things. The first satellite was sent up by the Russians. Then a few years later one was sent up by the Americans. Satellites cameras are so good that even though they are thousands of miles up they can still take a clear shot of some ones face.

George Bush – So i know that your the one of the leaders in the military, so how are the satellites helping the military to protect the US Bill - Yes mr. President the sattelites hhas helped us alot lately we can basically spy on what ever country we want and see what they are doing. So its lepin us out a lot.

5/10/07 Satellites

Intro - A Satellite is an object launched to orbit Earth or another celestial body. - It orbits the earth and the moon - The first artificial Earth satellite was Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union in October 1957; the first successful American satellite was launched in January 1958.
 * What is a satellite?

Body I - Satellites are used for research, communications, weather information, and navigation. - Satellites are also used by the USA as a defense weapon
 * What are satellites used for today?

- At first the USA wanted to launch a satellite in 1945 but they had a lot of trouble doing so because the navy didn’t believe that satellites can be used as a defense weapon. They thought it would only be for the use of science and politics. - Then the navy was pressured by the American Rocket Society, the National Science Foundation, and the International Geophysical Year, the in early 1955 the Air Force and Navy worked on a Project Orbiter, which involved using a Jupiter C rocket to launch a small satellite called Explorer 1. They did this on January 31, 1958.
 * When the USA did launch its first satellites?

Body II -
 * How is the USA using satellites as a defense weapon against other countries?

v Satellites are used to help out the USA military in wars v Satellites are also used spy on other countries v Other countries also used satellites as spies v People are being recorded every where they go v The launch of satellites are affecting the ozone layer v Satellites are being used to help with the weather v The first satellite was launched by the Russians v Satellites cameras are very so accurate that they use it to make maps v Satellites are now being made by NASA v People are starting to depend on satellites for a large amount of things like cable, phones services and other electronic services

Questions i want to ask 1. How thought of the idea to make the cameras for the satellites? 2. How long did they take to make the satellite cameras?

Things i find interesting I. How the satellites can find anything on the earth II. How accuret the satellites cameras are

Three things i learned
 * The British are probably the most watched people on Earth.
 * Everyday people are being photographed either if they are by themselves or in a crowd
 * When they are trying to identify suspects seen on camera is the picture quality

Two things i want to know
 * Do they use satellites cameras to find wanted people?
 * What kind of people do they mostly look for on satellites cameras?

Things i found interesting
 * That each day people are being photographed
