Satellite Deployment

Satellite deployment refers to the process of placing a satellite into its intended orbit around the Earth or another celestial body. This includes the actions and procedures required to launch the satellite from a launch vehicle, maneuver it into the correct orbit, and ensure its operational readiness. The deployment may involve various stages, such as separation from the launch vehicle, orbital insertion, and system checks. This process is crucial for the satellite to perform its intended functions, which can include communication, Earth observation, scientific research, navigation, and more. Successful deployment is essential for the satellite’s mission and operational lifespan.
