Satellite Launch

A satellite launch is the process of sending a satellite into space, typically into orbit around the Earth or another celestial body. This involves the use of a launch vehicle, commonly known as a rocket, which is designed to carry the satellite from the Earth’s surface to the desired altitude and velocity necessary to achieve orbit. The launch process includes several stages: liftoff, ascent through the atmosphere, reaching orbital insertion, and deployment of the satellite into its intended orbit. Satellite launches are conducted for various purposes, including communication, weather monitoring, Earth observation, scientific research, and navigation. Each launch is typically a carefully planned operation that involves extensive engineering, coordination between various teams, and adherence to safety protocols to ensure successful deployment and operation of the satellite.
