Satellite Launches

Satellite launches refer to the process of sending a satellite into orbit around Earth or other celestial bodies. This involves the use of a launch vehicle, commonly known as a rocket, which is designed to propel the satellite through the atmosphere and into space. The satellite may serve various purposes, including communication, weather observation, Earth monitoring, scientific research, and navigation.

The process encompasses several stages, starting from pre-launch preparations, such as the design and construction of the satellite and launch vehicle, to the actual launch event, where the satellite is deployed into its intended orbit. Various international space agencies and private companies conduct satellite launches, employing different launch vehicles and technologies.

Satellite launches are critical for advancing technology and providing data for various applications, contributing to global connectivity, environmental monitoring, scientific discovery, and national security, among others. The increasing demand for satellites has led to improved efficiencies in launch processes and has sparked the growth of the commercial space industry.
