i know this may sound racist,but i heard from one of my friends.the Indian Military is extremely skilled in stealth. No matter how you try to use the gps satellite to spot them, u can never see them.If India becomes a Super Power, the neighbouring countries will be feeling uneasy.

The First satellite in Space, Sputnik.\nThe Moon Landing. First man on the moon.\nVoyager first satellite to exit solar system, Voyager.

I would say the race began in earnest in 1957, when the Russians launched Sputnik, the first man-made satellite to orbit the earth.  Some say it began in 1945 when Russia and the US competed to acquire German rocket scientists and engineers after WWII.

No, areas like that use satellite. They have these portable satellite things that cost a fortune.\nhttp://www.thuraya.pl/inmarsat.html

3-\nGOES-10 (West) and GOES-12 (East).  Goes-11 is in orbit but is not in operation; it is in case GOES-10 or GOES-12 has a problem it can take over while they are being repaired.\n\n**These are meteorological satellites.  As far as total geosynchronous satellites, there are approx. 300

The first artificial satellite- Sputnik- was launched into space on October 4, 1957 by the Soviet Union. Since then, things have been busy! As of August 19, 1999, there is a total of 2616 satellites in Earth orbit, as well as 90 space probes (that is, objects not orbiting the Earth but sent to the Moon, planets, comets, etc.). On top of that, there are about 6100 pieces of debris out there as well: pieces of broken up satellites, rocket boosters, lost tools, etc. etc., for a grand total of roughly 9000 objects in space. The U.S. alone accounts for about 3850 of that total.

Neil Armstrong was the first.\nBuzz Aldrin was the second.

The first rocket which could fly high enough to get into space was the V2 missile which was first launched by Germany in 1942. The first rocket which actually launched something into space was used to launch Sputnik, the first satellite, on October 4, 1957. The rocket that launched Sputnik was a R-7 ICBM rocket

chek out the source for more info\n\nMETSAT/Kalpana series\nMETSAT or Meteorological Satellite, is the first satellite built by ISRO to provide meteorological information and data. In 2003, METSAT was renamed as Kalpana in honour of the late astronaut Kalpana Chawla. METSAT 2/Kalpana 2 is expected to be launched by 2007.\n\nIRS series\n\nThe IRS series provide remote sensing services and are composed of the 1 (A, B,C, D). The future versions are named based on their area of application including OceanSat, CartoSat, ResourceSat. Some of the satellites have alternate designations based on the launch number and vehicle (P series for PSLV). ISRO and the Department of Space (India) have jointly formed Antrix Corp Ltd, for promoting and marketing IRS satellites\n\n\nINSAT series\n\nThe Insat series of satellites include the 1 (A, B,C, D), 2 (A, B,C, D/DT), 3 (A, B,C, D,E) and 4 (A) series. They provide Communication and Television relay services all over India. Most of these satellites were launched by the Arianespace for ISRO, the latest being INSAT 4A. ISRO also plans to launch the next generation of INSAT satellities, INSAT 4B and 4C, by 2005-06.[

Satellite communication is usefull for long range communications. High frequency comm signal is propagating in a straight line. However, the earth curvature make a straight line path difficult to achieve over a very long range (i.e from jakarta - paris). \n\nIn this situation we can use satellite to overcome the earth curvature. Satellite acts as a mirror high in the sky. It reflecting (and also amplify) a comm signal from a transmitter in Jakarta to a remote receiver in paris.\n\nRemote sensing is another application of satellite. Remote sensing systematically photograph earth from space.

Building on AG's answer (how are things in Kharagpur - dude), I looked up the IAU site. There is a listing for 52206 but not 52206-737: \n\nNumber: 52206 \nProvisional Des. 3326 T-3 \nDiscovery date: 16 Nov 1977   \nDiscover Site: Palomar\nDiscoverer(s): van Houten, C. J., van Houten-Groeneveld, I., Gehrels, T.\n\nA wild guess - of course. But in any case the asker's wording of the question is'nt exactly helping the cause!

i think that is why they call it a 'one'-way satellite :)

The main objective of ISRO is to develop space technology and its application to various national tasks. ISRO has established two major space systems, INSAT (Geostationary)for communication, television broadcasting and meteorological services, and Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS)(Polar orbit) system for resources monitoring and management. ISRO has developed two satellite launch vehicles, PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle)and GSLV(Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle), to place da sateliies in da required orbits\n\nAchievements/Milestones of ISRO: http://www.isro.org/mileston.htm\nhttp://www.aiaa.org/indiaus2004/Sat-communication.pdf\nhttp://asia.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=10278 (2002) \n\nTry these links 4 details;\nhttp://www.isro.org/ \nhttp://www.fas.org/spp/guide/india/agency/isro.html\nhttp://www.isac.ernet.in/\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/scifi/indianspacescience/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Space_Research_Organization\nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/indian-space-research-organisation\nhttp://www.goodnewsindia.com/Pages/content/institutions/isro.html

Communications satellites allow telephone and data conversations to be relayed through the satellite. Typical communications satellites include Telstar and Intelsat. The most important feature of a communications satellite is the transponder -- a radio that receives a conversation at one frequency and then amplifies it and retransmits it back to Earth on another frequency. A satellite normally contains hundreds or thousands of transponders. Communications satellites are usually geosynchronous.
