Sunil Good paper, well written Please make it a habit to find some one to proof read your writing. There are too many typos and small spelling and grammar errors.

You develop your paper well and give good information but you never reference your sources. Finally, you layout what we are doing with satellites but you never touch how this technology is affecting, shaping or changing society.

//__Satellites and G.P.S, how the affect society?__//

Satellites have affected have affected life on earth before human kind ever existed,

when some one hears about satellites the thought that comes to their mind is the man

made objects that revolve around the earth. To be correct those aren’t the real satellites,

the real satellites are the moons that revolve around planets. The reason man made

objects were referred as satellites is because they both affected the planets the same way

but the man made satellites not as massive as natural satellites. In the Merriam-Webster

dictionary satellites are defined as any object which has been placed in orbit by human

endeavor. They are called artificial satellites to defer from natural satellites such as the

moon.

Artificial satellites were first created in the Soviet Union on October 4th 1957. It was

called Sputnik 1. Ever since this historical day artificial satellites have changed the face

of earth forever, this was a new dawn for man that would revolutionized the way

technology can be used. Article satellites affect every day life dramatically, they account

for about 99 percent of everything that is used today. Everything from jet planes, laptops

and walkie-talkies use satellites fir there uses.

Satellites pg.2

Without Satellites in general the world would be a different place. Article satellites

affect everybody in the word. Every mill-second a satellites is receiving and transferring

data non-stop. Satellites are used for millions of things. Such as transferring phone calls,

exploring the universe, taking precise pictures of things, defense of foreign objects from

space, television shows viewing for away objects and G.P.S. Connecting people from all

across the world and etc.

The most famous satellite ever created was Hubble spacecraft it is technically a

telescope buts it’s a satellites as well. Hubble opened the door to the universe nobody has

ever seen before. Hubble gave light to a dark and dimmed universe. Before Hubble was

created satellites didn’t have the power or capacity to view the cosmos the way Hubble

did. Know we can see the foundation of the plain of existence, how the universe was

created, what created it and how long, all thanks to a satellite that when first created was

meant to be used as a weapon not a key to the cosmos.

One of the best uses satellites are used for is to make everyday life easier and more

convenient for society. Foe example G.P.S (Global Positioning System) G.P.S is a system

used by a satellites that can help you locate anywhere on earth. You can find the latitude

and longitude of your location. If your lost and your in the middle of nowhere you can

use the G.P.S and find out where you are at and get direction and how to get there with

G.P.S Satellites pg.3

G.P.PS is currently the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System

(GNSS). Utilizing a constellation of at least 24 satellites that revolve around earths orbit

they transmit precise radio signals, the system enables a GPS receiver to determine its

location, speed and direction G.P.S was created by the United States by the Defense

program to map out enemy territories. It was first called NAVSTAR G.P.S. GPS has

become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making,

and surveying, commerce, and scientific uses. GPS also provides a precise time

reference used in many applications including scientific study of earthquakes, and

synchronization of telecommunications networks. Ironically satellite which was Sputnik

1 Help lead to the creation of G.P.S

Satellites are constantly being used for the better and expansion of society. Satellites

are so valuable to society. If satellites happened to not exist it wouldn’t be so convenient

to make a call across the world, take eye dropping pictures of mars landscape and transfer

data from one location of the earth to the other. Ever since Sputnik 1 was launch on

October 4th 1957 is changed the way society and technology would function forever. It

lead to knew ways to send information, to few the earth and others planets in-cores and

atmosphere without going to the planet in person. When satellites were first conceived

they were meant to be used as a weapon for the soviet union against the United States.

The Soviet Union and United States were in a verbal war then the //Cold war,// they didn’t

fight they just battled each other for the aerospace programs who can reach space and do

this and first. Ever since then satellites transformed from a weapon to way a foundation

of expending technology to new limits.

Natural satellites affect the world just as much as artificial satellites. With out natural

satellites the world would not be the same at all. The day would be extremely longer, the

earth would take extremely long to revolve in one day. The day we know of 24 hours

would turn to 40 hours and the earth would lose its axis and wobble around the sun. The

moon keeps the earth axis from going out of control and keeps the day 24 hours long.

In a way Natural and artificial satellites help contribute to the world. Artificial

satellites help make G.P.S possible, transferring information across the world in seconds

and exploring the universe. Natural satellites help maintain the earth axis and rotation.

These two catalyst make the world what it is today. The man-made satellite and the

natural satellite help contribute to way life is and the way in functions.

If it’s an natural or artificial satellites, satellites affect the world constantly and

dramatically. Without satellites the world we know today would not be similar in any

way. We would never have made scientific breakthroughs in cosmetology, have the use

of cell phones and wireless internet. Satellites are a big part of life every second. These

are the variables that make satellites a big part of life, cause they truly are the air to the

fire to society on earth. In a way society would not be able to function with out artificial

satellites article satellites account for amount everything used in the world today satellites

are truly a big piece to society and forever will be.
