Because centrifugal force increases according to the square of, one would expect gravity to be cancelled for an object travelling 17 times faster than the Earth's rotation, and in fact satellites in low orbit at the equator complete 17 full orbits in one day.

Low Earth orbit satellites take advantage of the fact that certain polar orbits set near the terminator do not suffer from eclipse, therefore their solar cells are continuously lit by sunlight.

In fact, the early design was to have a ring for each of a dozen satellites in place at the time of the Fair.

This proved impractical not only in the number of satellites, but also in the height of their orbits and the fact that geostationary satellites had no orbit path.

The fact that the Earth's gravitational field slightly deviates from being spherically symmetrical also affects the orbits of satellites and changes their orbits away from pure ellipses.

On the contrary, most scientists now accept the fact that actual observations from earth satellites show no climate warming whatsoever.

This version includes In fact, many climate specialists now agree that actual observations from weather satellites show no global warming whatsoever.

RAIM availability is an important issue when using such kind of algorithm in safety-critical applications ( as the aeronautical ones ); in fact, because of geometry and satellite service maintenance, RAIM is not always available at all, meaning that the receiver's antenna could have sometimes less than five satellites in view.

The reliability and versatility of the PSLV is proven by the fact that it has launched 55 satellites / spacecrafts ( 26 Indian and 29 Foreign Satellites ) into a variety of orbits so far.

In fact, although Arthur C. Clarke was the first to propose geostationary communications satellites, Pierce seems to have arrived at the idea independently and may have been the first to discuss unmanned communications satellites.

SARs applications are countless: they range from geology to crop monitoring, from sea-ice mapping to disaster monitoring to vessel traffic surveillance, not to forget the military applications ( many civilian SAR satellites are, in fact, dual-use systems ).

In fact, Cambrian's enrollment growth was so rapid that within only five years the satellites became independent colleges.

Although Google uses the word satellite, most of the high-resolution imagery of cities is aerial photography taken from aircraft flying at 800 – 1500 feet rather than from satellites ; while most of the rest of the imagery is in fact from satellites.

However, reacting to data received from the Vela satellites, they were in fact investigating a superbolt-an unusually large bolt of lightning, lasting an unusually long time: about a thousandth of a second.

But when observed from other latitudes the fact that geostationary satellites are at a fixed altitude of 35, 786 km ( 22, 236 mi ) above the Earth's equator, and vary in distance from the satellite dish due to the dish's position in latitude and longitude, means polar mounts need further adjustments to allow one axis slewing:

And, as a matter of fact, Nicolas had slept in the park only part of one night, when he discovered that Munich's early mornings even in summer are laden with dew.

In fact, although we have dispelled the fear, we have not necessarily assured ourselves that there are no dangers.

In fact, insofar as science generates any fear, it stems not so much from scientific prowess and gadgets but from the fact that new unanswered questions arise, which, until they are understood, create uncertainty.

We are also struck by the fact that this story of a boy's love for his mother does not offend, while the incestuous love of the man, Paul Morel, sometimes repels.

we accord it its place there, and in Lawrence's treatment we are given the innocent fantasy of a child, in fact, the form in which oedipal love is expressed in childhood.

There is probably some significance in the fact that two of the best incest stories I have encountered in recent years are burlesques of the incest myth.

Some of us might be inclined to argue, in fact, that an independence of mind and action and an intolerance of regimentation, either mental or physical, are particularly Southern traits.

There is evidence to suggest, in fact, that many authors of the humorous sketches were prompted to write them -- or to make them as indelicate as they are -- by way of protesting against the artificial refinements which had come to dominate the polite letters of the South.

This finding is consistent also with the fact that student leaders are more likely to be supporters of the values implicit in civil liberties than the other students.

In fact, if judgments are to be rendered upon the soundness of his historicism, they must be based on scanty evidence.

That fact is very clearly illustrated in the case of the many present-day intellectuals who were Communists or near-Communists in their youth and are now so extremely conservative ( or reactionary, as many would say ) that they can define no important political conviction that does not seem so far from even a centrist position as to make the distinction between Mr. Nixon and Mr. Khrushchev for them hardly worth noting.

It is a fact of life that magazines are edited by groups: they have to be or they wouldn't be published at all.

But if anything can bring home to Mr. Khrushchev the idea that he will not really get much enjoyment from watching this Braddock-against-the-Indians contest, it will probably be the fact that SEATO forces are ready to attempt it -- plus the fact that Moscow has something to lose from closing off disarmament and other bigger negotiations with Washington.

There is a trend today to bemoan the fact that Americans are too `` soft ''.

the rub arises from the fact that teachers are usually paid on the basis of time served rather than quality.

This caution has been particularly noticeable in a tendency of retailers and distributors to shift the inventory burden back on the supplier, and the fact stocks at retail are low in many lines has escaped attention because of the presence of higher stocks at the manufacturing level.

But Schnabel was a great teacher in addition to being a great performer, and the fact that four of the ten versions I listened to are by Schnabel pupils ( Clifford Curzon, Frank Glazer, Adrian Aeschbacher, and Victor Babin ) also sheds light on the master's pedagogical skills.

Some of them are obvious, such as the fact that we associate recorded and live music with our responses and behavior in different types of environments and social settings.

Due to the fact that building codes and regulations vary so much throughout the country, the first thing to do is to find out what, if any, they are.

Some distribution costs are kept up by competitive pressure, some by the fact that the customers have come to expect certain niceties and flourishes.

Fundamental to the difficulty of creating the desired prestige is the fact that, in the business community, prestige and status are conferred in proportion to the authority that one man has over others and the extent of which he participates in the management functions ''.

Important as these differences are, they should not obscure the basic fact that by shifting the hypothalamic balance sufficiently to the parasympathetic side, we produce depressions, whereas a shift in the opposite direction causes excitatory effects and, eventually, maniclike changes.

Perhaps a clue to these and related problems lies in the fact that changes in the intensity of hypothalamic discharges which are associated with changes in its balance lead also to qualitative alterations in reactivity.

These orbits were stabilized in the model by the fact that when an electron moved farther from the center of the positive cloud, it felt a larger net positive inward force, because there was more material of opposite charge, inside its orbit ( see Gauss's law ).

Though the fact of the irregularity of the lunar orbit was known in the 1st century BC, the starts of the months were calculated using the mean motions of both the sun and moon until 619, the second year of the Tang dynasty, when chronologists began to use true motions modeled using two offset opposing parabolas ( with small linear and cubic components ).

In fact, the parabolic orbit is the borderline case between those two types of orbit.

Given the fact that the period P of an object in circular orbit around a spherical object obeys

Juggling has been performed in space despite the fact that the micro-gravity environment of orbit deprives the juggled objects of the essential ability to fall.

Analysis of results from the Mars Express spacecraft, however, revealed that the grooves are not in fact radial to Stickney, but are centered on the leading apex of Phobos in its orbit ( which is not far from Stickney ).

This is due to the fact that the orbit of the Moon precesses.

As explained in the Equation of Time article, this annoyance is due to the ellipticity of the Earth's orbit and the fact that the Earth's axis is not perpendicular to the plane of its orbit.

Opposition is defined as the moment when the apparent ecliptic longitudes of the superior planet and the Sun differ by 180 °, which ignores the fact that the planet is outside the plane of the Earth's orbit.

Delay exploits the fact that both the Earth and the impactor are in orbit.

From the fact that they changed their relative positions from night to night, but always appeared in the same straight line near Jupiter, he deduced that they were four bodies in orbit around Jupiter.

It has been suggested that planets with high eccentricities calculated by this method may in fact be two-planet systems of circular or near-circular resonant orbit.

For these reasons, scientists are coming to believe that Phoebe is in fact a captured centaur, one of a number of icy planetoids from the Kuiper belt that orbit the Sun between Jupiter and Neptune.

The term " gravitational constant " comes from the fact that k < sup > 2 </ sup > is related to the standard gravitational parameter expressed in a system of measurement where masses are measured in solar masses, time is measured in days and distance is measured in semi-major axes of the Earth's orbit.

Prince seems to be close to winning and reveals that: a ) he has realized his true purpose and b ) his fascination with Kai stems from the fact that the conflict that has started since the Lexx appeared in orbit of Fire and Water, was really between the two of them.

The fact that heavy bodies have always a tendency to fall to the earth, no matter at what height they are placed above the Earth's surface, seems to have led Newton to conjecture that it was possible that the same tendency to fall to the earth was the cause by which the moon was retained in its orbit round the earth.

Because asteroids ' orbits can be highly eccentric, an Aten orbit need not be entirely contained within Earth's orbit ; in fact, nearly all known Aten asteroids have their aphelion greater than one AU even though their semi-major axis is less than one AU.

This takes into consideration the fact that the Earth's orbit ranges between 0. 983 and 1. 016 au from the Sun.
