Shining like a work of art
Hanging on a wall of stars
Are you what I think you are?
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
Elevator to the moon
Whistling our favorite tune
Trying to get a closer view
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
Maybe you will always be
Just a little out of reach
You're my satellite
You're riding with me tonight
Passenger side, lighting the sky
Always the first star that I find
You're my satellite
You're my satellite
(Nicola Sirkis / Dominique Nicolas)
Savoure-moi, savoure-toi
Savoure le rouge, mon amour
Savoure-moi, savoure-toi
Savoure le rouge, mon amour.
Say !
Si je dessinais sur toi
Des serpents, des serpents en argent
Tu voudras voir des marais de sang
Et cultiver la fleur de mes mouvements
Tu voudras que je dessine sur toi
Sur ton corps des étoiles de diamant
Lève les bras, comme ça ne bouge plus !
Oublie-moi ou bien ne m'oublie pas !
Eh ! Conduis-moi vers ton endroit mon bébé
Parle-moi ! Parle-moi de ton humidité
Décris-moi ! Décris-moi sale et beau à la fois
Say !
Bien avant que les astres jaillissent
Et que ton sexe me lisse entre les mains
Les doigts mouillés, l'étoile inondée
Tu me griffes la peau sur le tableau
Et un jour, je te peindrai entière
Sur tout ton corps, je te peindrai dans l'or
L'ultra chair, mon huile et ma déesse
Retourne-toi, retourne dans le rouge...
Eh ! Conduis-moi vers ton endroit mon bébé
Parle-moi ! Parle-moi de ton humidité
Décris-moi ! Décris-moi sale et beau à la fois
Eh, mon bébé, mon bébé, mon bébé
Say !
Conduis-moi ! Conduis-moi vers ton endroit mon bébé
Parle-moi ! Parle-moi de ton humidité
Décris-moi ! Décris-moi sale et beau à la fois
Eh, mon bébé, mon bébé, mon bébé
Eh, mon bébé, mon bébé, mon bébé
Rain, rain on a Tuesday.
The clouds are crying 'cause they can't wash me away.
Now you've got me in your pocket,
We fly away above the storm in your space rocket.
You're my sun and I'm your satellite.
Have me in your gravity and holding me so tight.
You're my sun and I'm your satellite.
And now I know how it feels
To get it right.
Naked in the afternoon.
Bellies soaked in sweat and evening comes too soon.
I wrap my world around your body,
And it feels so good not to have to say I'm sorry.
You're my sun and I'm your satellite.
Have me in your gravity and holding me so tight.
Well you're my sun and I'm your satellite.
Now I know how it feels.
And I'll keep coming right back to you now,
I'll keep coming right back to you now, yes I will.
And I'll keep coming right back to you now,
But will you keep standing still?
You're my sun and I'm your satellite.
Have me in your gravity and holding me so tight.
You're my sun and I'm your satellite.
Now I know how it feels
To get it right.
Mr. green i think
i find your face familiar
you reminded me
i know we're very similar
fading out inside
swallow all the shame
and hide the hurt and pain
satellite you're not alone
satellite you're not alone
oh, we lose ourselves so easily
oh, we lose ourselves so easily
blue i know i'm you
your shoulder to the world again
paint it black and hide
photograph the lies
inside you're cracking up
satellite you're not alone
satellite you're not alone
oh, we lose ourselves so easily
oh, we lose ourselves so easily
the popstar radio crown is gone
the popstar radio sound is gone
i think that you are walking backwards
you said you're sick of all the bastards
i thought that it was alright
when you told me last night
so i said that you could come along
when it comes down
and then it goes around
you want to have your cake and mine too
but everyone i know ignores you
theres several things around you
as question marks surround you
so you think that you better run away
when it comes down
and then it goes around
the popstar radio crown is gone
the popstar radio sound is gone
i think you're swimming in your sorrow
you said you're sick because you got up
i thought that it was alright
when you told me last night
so i said that you could come along
when it comes down
and then it goes around
the popstar radio crown is gone
the popstar radio sound is gone
My soul takes flight, drawn to your light
Satellite
Can't get enough, orbiting your love,
Satellite
You are the center of my universe, universe.
You are the center of my universe, universe.
Your gravity, has captured me.
Satellite
My soul revolves, my will disolves.
Satellite
You are the center of my universe, universe
You are the center of my universe, universe
You pulled me in, you set my spin, you chart my course, around your word,
You are the center of my universe, universe
You are the center of my universe, universe
You are the center of my universe, universe
You are the center of my universe, universe
I'm your Satellite.
Hush little baby don't cry like that
God's gonna buy you a Cadillac
He's chosen you to do his will
You can spread the word in your coupe de ville
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
Look to the heavens and see it shine
Heals the sick and leads the blind
Tune it in and hear it say
It's countin' down to judgment day
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
Hey satellite man your time has come
Your word received by everyone
And should you fall, well that's ok
You love the ones that you betray
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And when at last you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
(release your body)
(beloved, freedom!)
(release your body)
satellite, satellite
keep on drifting out into the night
take me high, take me low
take me anywhere you want to go
you lift me up, i'll push you down
take me with you as you're spinning around
satellite, satellite
keep on drifting till you're out of sight
(release your body)

I'd like to tell you a story
For just a minute or two
And if you don't want to hear it
Just be quiet if some others do
I'd like to get me a satellite
Way up over the world
And say hello everybody and you too girl
This is me your friend A.G.
Speaking to you from above
Here in the land of America
Sending everybody love
I'd like to tell the whole world
In every foreign land
Today looks like a day for holding hands
Today ain't nothing special
It's just an average day
But we could get together
And watch the children play
Tomorrow will be soon enough
To return to blood and guns
Let's just take the day off and have some fun
Today we tell the hungry
That food is on the way
Today we tell the sick ones
That soon you'll be okay
Today we tell the prisoners
That soon you will be free
Don't no one take this microphone from me
And while I'm up here honey
I got a message for you
I know I've got just a little while
So let me end it through
The whole world's dancing 'round and 'round
Like a universe of fools
And ain't it wonderful to see
A day that breaks the rules
Like a day that's made for me and you
Oh ain't it wonderful to see
A day that breaks the rules
Like a day that's made for me and you
I see you floating by me
I see a beautiful face
It's pointed straight up towards the smog
I know I know you feel me beaming
Can you sense my burning x-ray vision
As you roll on by now
You must be gravitating
To the vibe I'm generating or maybe not 'yet
I have known you forever
You pushed the reset button on the counter of my heart
But you'll laugh at my advances
But still I've gotta chance it as I watch your dust
You do it You do it for me that's how I know that you are mine
I send out to you
Frequencies exceeding the speeding laws of sound
I extend out to you
The satellite that will orbit your mind until your down
That's how I know that's how I know
I'm the asteroid that will infiltrate your soul
That's how I know that's how I know
Speeding towards you burning out of control
[Repeat Chorus]
I'll understand if you're not feeling well enough to write
I'll understand if you've got way too many things to do
you see I've been sitting here for an hour trying to finish what I started
Now it seems every line gets harder and never really what I wanna say
So I hope this letter finds you well
It's taken me a little while to sit and spell out everything I wanna say
But I think I'm ready to convey
You're the reason that I play at all
You got me thinking how a song can change it all
If there's any wonder how I made it through
Well I tell them that's between me and you, well
Someday I'll thank you if I see you around
But for now I'll just keep this letter to myself
And a song I'll probably never sing for you
Like a satellite
Spinning 'round my head in sound
You got me thinking how a song can change it all
If there's any wonder how I made it through
Well I tell them that's between me and you, well
Someday I'll thank you if I see you around
But for now I'll just keep this letter to myself
And a song I'll probably never sing for you
Like a satellite
Spinning 'round my head in sound
When you're sixteen and you're full of pain
Yeah nothing matters much but the sound of broken bottles and hearts
And the ties that bind you to what you can't ignore
In a world where I had no control I used my voice as a weapon that I could hold
I screamed and shouted until I played
I meant every single word I said
You're the reason that I care at all
You got me thinking how a song can change it all
If there's anyone that I want to hear
Well nothing's ever been so clear
Someday I'll thank you if I see you around
But for now I'll just keep this letter to myself
And a song I'll probably never sing for you
Like a satellite
Spinning 'round my head in sound
Like a song I won't forget
Oh satellite spinning 'round my head
Like a song I won't forget
When we're all grown up and looking for that anger nothing matters much
But the reasuring sound of a voice buzzing through the stereo
All this imagery and sound
With words that bite and tear out
So watch me for myself
Again now I found my voice again now.
Rolling back towards the continent
instrumental forces die
save excitement for line behavior
signal shifting to enter flight
my back is burning
in the heat of the atmosphere
my engine roars
and the throttle cries
I'm not pulling on my navigation
bringing me down out of the sky
I've seen the face
It seems they've always been here
ten thousand years tonight
copy Houston, request location
signal over...Satellite
The madness creeping
with system failure
the image scatters
and the comlink fades
the red planet below me hungry
the red planet below me waits
(bridge)
(chorus)
Thirty more channels than you need
I could tune in free
Some rabbit ears, some foil in a hanger
Static on channel 13 cleared long enough for a scene
A jet flew over head and it faded
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Bought a satellite, bought a satellite, bought a satellite
... satellite
Dug up from the depths of ? ? ? , sewer southern flow
A boy I couldn't name, I knew well
? ? ? still a rambler, useless to my call
You're nowhere to be found on the airwaves
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Bought a satellite, bought a satellite, bought a satellite
... satellite
So far from my reach
Close enough to see
I sleep beside the set at night and I can't let you leave
(guitar solo)
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Need to (spy? ? ? ) and I'm coming for your love over there
Nothing along the ? ? ? ? ?
Nothing I want to see but your face
Couldn't find you any place upon my screen
Bought a satellite (repeat)
Black and blue I chose my way
I, the candid castaway
In a way delayed by one more broken season
To find reason for appeasing you and
So I found my guiding light
Lambent, flashing red and white
Through a starry night I'm better nowhere-bound
Than drowning on your solid ground
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
All in all I fare the same
Wishing on an airplane
Its callin stars by name
A lonely song of freedom rings
In hope of someone listening and
So I send my feeble flare
Through the silent arctic air
Heading anywhere
Until at last i've finally found
A place to lay my anchor down
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishin on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
You never know never never
Heaven help me I'm
Drownin and I can't save me
Send some salvation
To keep me alive
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishin on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishin on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio
Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhh
(Instrumental)
White lightning man
Kill the night
Bring the light for those who need to hide
When your glowing known he stills the cold
In psychic heat begin to fall apart
Commit some social suicide
You can run but never hide away
Kill the night!
Arrogant boy, reduced to tears
Cross-sect the stratosphere
Kill the night!
Consciousness unconsciousness
Does this relieve the knotted breast
Bring the night!
Satellite!
Kill the night!
Sshh, you'll kill the night, hide the light
I found a photo of us today
The memories they came flooding back
Blowing out birthday candles
I was dressed as superman and you were a shining star
We would have only been in fourth grade
My sweet blue eyed childhood valentine
All these years and I miss you so much
First star I see tonight
I'll make a wish I hope comes true
I'd even search the stars for you
I'd even send a satellite
To find a piece of kryptonite
To have you right here by my side
I miss you / I wish you were right here
I need you right here by my side
Everyday after class I'd carry your books
You would hold my hand and say to me
That when we grow up we'd get married
But time has a habit of bringing with it change
We've moved away / grown up and grown apart
Sometimes I lay awake and wonder
if your thinking about me
Like I think about you?
[pre chorus]
[chorus]
[outro]
Will I ever see you again?
Black and blue I chose my way
I, the candid castaway
In a way delayed by one more broken season
To find reason for appeasing you and
So I found my guiding light
Lambent, flashing red and white
Through a starry night I'm better nowhere-bound
Than drowning on your solid ground
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, waiting, all alone

Do you lie awake
In the morning
Trying to find
A reason to call me
'Cause honey
All that I've been doing
Is thinking about your smile
But none of this is necessary
With me baby
You see baby
'Cause I like to
Keep it all simple
'Cause you are my
Satellite
So I'm trying to
Keep you in sight
But with all this space
Can we keep it alive
Keep it alive
So I'm asking you baby
Are you coming down tonight
There's something
In the air tonight
That feels right
But you're keeping me
Guessing and I'm
Finding it hard to
Catch your eye
So move a little closer
It's all right
I know
What you're thinking
You've been circling me
For a while

Midnight, bright light, shining from the sky
Circulating round the earth, trying to catch your eye
Lowdown, showdown, trying to break away
Stay on course, feel the force, careful what you say
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real?
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite
Me and you, rendezvous, we've got to take the chance
I'm paralyzed, I'm hypnotized, I'm in some kinda trance
Hazy, crazy, this thing's lost control
It's got the power, it's got the strength to steal away your soul
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real?
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite
It's burning up the sky
It's burning up the sky
Yes it's burning, yes it's burning
Can't you see that it's burning
Can't you see that it's burning
It's burning up the sky
Can't you see that it's burning
Midnight, bright light, shining from the sky
Circulating round the earth, trying to catch your eye
Lowdown, showdown, trying to break away
Stay on course feel the force, careful what you say
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah can't you feel that it's real?
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah set your sights on the satellite
the witness said its extraordinary
she should've listened when
you'll be soon dead and buried
i make a scene
you know what i mean

red cosmos pink
they all toasted you blind
i needed another drink
just to look you in the eye
cause i don't want you to go
i don't want you to go
i miss you already
satellite
blue salt water taffy
so don't ride down
to the biggest step
satellite i want you to be happy
if you smile for me we'll pretend like
you never left
i wish id tried to meet you at the airport
i wish that tonight the west was your last resort
but if i can keep the black coat
you can keep the blue clean coat?
i only want you to be happy and i know that i could make you happy
if you never left
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder...
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter's cold Spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Satellite headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle?
Winter's cold Spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds; no restriction.
Television we bounce 'round the world.
And while I spend these hours,
Five senses reeling,
I laugh about this weatherman's satellite eyes
Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder
Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasen
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds; no restriction.
Television we bounce 'round the world.
And while I spend these hours,
Five senses reeling,
I laugh about this weatherman's satellite eyes
Satellite, satellite
Satellite, satellite
She's got a wall full of pinups
And magazine photos
She teases her hair
As she tries on the poses
Just stands at the T.V.
While she's filing her nails
And sighs, "Maybe"
And I am standing in line
With the other stuffed toys
While she's checking her diary
And painting her toes
Is Friday or Saturday night?
Well, who knows?
She says, "Maybe"
And there's space junk inside her head
And she's, she's somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite, satellite
Oh, dizzy, dizzy, darling
When are you coming down?
Satellite, satellite
Well, she's studied the movies
Ordered all the right clothes
Is she modeling Gretta Garbo
Or Maralyn Monroe?
She can waste hours and hours
With her friends on the phone
They say, "Maybe"
Leaves her lipstick and perfume
All over the place
Only sweets in the daytime
Never wears the same dress
She's in ecstasy now
She's says, "Oo, that's the best!"
I say, "Maybe"
And there's space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite, satellite
Space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Spinnin' like a
Satellite
Oh, dizzy, dizzy, darling
When are you coming down?
Space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite
Oh, dizzy, dizzy, darling
When are you coming down?
Space junk inside her head
She's somewhere out there
Spinning like a
Satellite, satellite
Oh, dizzy, dizzy, darling
Space junk inside her head
She looked like she learned to dance from a
series of still pictures
She's madly excited now, she throws her hands
up like a tulip
She looks like an illustration of a cocktail party
Where cartoon bubbles burst in the air,
champagne rolls off her tongue
Like a second language
And it should have been her biggest night
The satellite looks down on her as she begins
to cry
All over the world at the very same time people
sharing the same sorrow
As the satellite looks down her darkest hour is
somebody's bright tomorrow
He pulled on a cigarette, in the crook of his
first finger
Felt the static electric charge of her perfect
hour-glass figure
As he undressed her with his eyes her weakness
was his talent
How could she know as she stepped through
the lights, that her dress would become
transparent
And with his face pressed to the screen, he
muttered words he'd never dare to say if she
could see him
All over the world at the very same time
People sharing the same cheap sensation the
thrill of watching somebody watching those
forbidden things we never mention
The satellite looks down right now and forever
What it has pulled apart let no man tether his
own body to his dream,
His dream to someone else
Oh no, oh no.
She went back to a pitiful compromise
He'd go back to his family
But for the matter of a thousand miles that
separated them entirely
In the hot unloving spotlight, with secrets
it arouses
Now they both know what it's like inside a
pornographer's trousers
And in a funny way it's anonymous, the satellite
it blesses us and makes these dreams come
true... All over the world
The satellite looks down right now and forever
What it has pulled apart let no man tether his
own body to his dream,
His dream to someone else
Oh no, oh no.
Well you come on like a comet, ideas in your head
Starving for affection, waiting to be fed
Crazy like a full moon, eyes open wide
Taking in everything you need to stay alive
Who leads who, who knows where
If you leave me now will I see you again
I'm telling you love bites
Like a satellite
Going round and round
It's something, something you can't fight
Oh in the daylight
And even in the dark night
I want you to surround me
Surround me like a satellite
Oh you move like a shadow of your own design
Do you want to trap me in between the lines
I don't walk on water if you think I can
If you want a miracle call up a Superman
Are we there
Is this love
Is this a space race
That we're both part of
They walked across the strip to the kittycats' clutch
I'm in love with a girl named Satellite
And I know that she'll take me home tonight
They're very cute - so select them quickly
Perhaps one day you'll strike a hotter match
I'm in love with a girl named Edison
And her sweetness is my only medicine
Satellite
Goin right
Bop a bop bop bop....
Let's assume you were right
and play the game of charm and strange
and satellite
and when we've all had our fun
deflate the stars
and put away the sun
and so we can call it a day
Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it
So let's assume it was true
cause baby can't lift up a hand to swear to you
and what's the use of defense?
the hangers-on are too far gone for evidence
and that one was lost from the first
Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it
So have it your way
whatever makes the best resume
whatever you can throw in
wash, rinse and spin til it's
spun away--okay
but I won't be sticking around
Cause I'll never prove that my motives were pure
so let's remove any question of cure
cause even though you've made it pretty obscure
baby, it's clear, from here--
you're losing your atmosphere
from here, you're losing it
while the hands are pointing up midnight
you're a question mark coming after people you watched collide
you can ask what you want to the satellite
cos the names you drop put ice in my veins
and for all you know you're the only one who finds it strange
when they call it a lover's moon
the satellite
cos it acts just like lovers do
the satellite
a burned out world you know
staying up all night
the satellite
Soon a man will kneel to pray
Soon the light will burn our shade
And with the sweet the bitter fades
So my heart and take your place
Cause I will be your force
And I will be your right
And I will watch over you like a satellite
Soon reason will have rhyme
Soon wisdom will imply
And with courage doubt subsides
So take my heart and take my pride
And I will be your side
And I will be your might
And I will watch over you like a satellite
River will flow from scenes unknown
I'll guide you through by the love I'll show
And the stars will wish upon the night
That they could have a guiding satellite
Suburban kid, ya got no name
Two ton(e) baby and ya got no brain
I bet you're only happy in suburbian dreams
But I'm only laughing cause you ain't in my scheme
Hey baby
I love you
I love you
I love you
I only ever listen when you're on the phone
From your safety where you sit at home
When I got nothin' better to do
Then there is always you
Cause you're good for my shoe
Hey baby
I love you
I love you
I love you
I'm in love
Yeah in love
Oh, can't you feel it?No I don't like where you come from
It's just a satellite of London
And when you look me in the eye
Just remember that I wanna die
Hey baby
I love you
I love you
I love you
You're the name but you can't tell
Lookin' like you just came outta hell
How did ya figure that'd you'd any use?
All you're gonna get is my abuse
Hey baby
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I wonder how clear it must look from there to here
No obstruction, this selfish corruption
All in this atmosphere
No fear, less tears, only time to catch my breath
I fail to inhale
Your love constricts my chest
Confusion blinded me, mental and physically
And it's because of you that now I can see
So now can I run I follow the Son and ride on to Zion
And dance this last song of freedom
But only time will tell, if it's truly for real
Can't change your mind, all I know this is what I feel
Whether I'm wrong or right, please keep my life in sight
And never take you eyes off me
[chorus:]
As I look up to the sky today
Well I can see you looking down on me
It brings a smile to my face again
Satellite
It's truly one of a kind, like star shine, beyond night time, are you there
My eyes stare to find, just what's behind this blind notion of mine, is it genuine
Cause sometimes, it plays tricks with my mind, some call it asinine
But it's like love or hate, now is that real or fake
Cause it's a real thin line, but that's your choice to make
The question at hand, help me understand, is this your plan
I think I can, can I think, then I think I can
Because I won't break (nah), and I won't shake (nah)
With lifted hands to this Man (Jah), I'll stand in faith
I'll make it through, my trust in you
Close my eyes, make a wish, kiss the sky
Hey there-I see you
[chorus]
Babies on beach blankets headed for Mars
Cute guys in crew cuts with the day goes to bars
There's a pretty lady in a bikini
Her eyes are clear
But her teeth look like smashed out window panes
She's trying to fix her dreams
With seaweed and sushi and carrot juice and wheat germ
There's a wide wall
That she can't see over now
But that's ok
Because mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite
A jog in the morning with some vitamins
Then go to a singles bar
California is sure lovely
It's the home of the stars
And everybody's got a great body, but mine
That's just fine
Cuz everybody's so shriveled up inside
They're trying to hide behind
Power Bars and Vollyball and Valium
It's a wide wall
That we can't see over now
But that's ok
We're still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite
No matter where you go
You can't outrun a cold
No matter what you do
You can't escape the flu
No matter how you try
You can't stop a satellite
In Hollywood there's all these heroes
They're strung out on grace
Half-skinned gypsies
They're crying to leave this place
There are souls stuck in a bone machine
They are dying in crowded rooms
They are dying of blood on bone
They are crushed by ??
Cigarettes and ?? and high hopes
There's a wide wall
That we can't see over now
But that's all right
We're still growing
You know that
Mistakes are allowed when you're a
Satellite
You can't hold back a Satellite
Satellite
Babies on beach blankets headed for Mars
Now hear this my friends
I'll never be the same again
Going to lock myself in a cold black room
Going to shadow myself in a veil of gloom
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
Driven to this point by a chain of events
Each one pushed me nearer the edge
Going to send my message through to you
You'll receive the signal too
I will function, operate
I will be a satellite of hate
Higher, Higher
Disillusioned - I was disenchanted
Forgot the love that had been implanted
Heard the lies and I felt the cold
It broke my heart and I lost control
Now I'm a satellite of a free state
I'm a satellite of hate
We'd like you to leave immediately.
(Next subject...)
We can see the satellite at uh, a distance of about uh, i guess over 15 miles here.
It looked like a star as you looked up.
See here, we have a beautiful view of the earth down below as the satellite departs.
She smells of the sun
and she's constantly saying
that's it's all right,
because lies sound so nice.
And like soil to seed goes
to casting my fears aside...
She says, ";The satellite is coming";.
I pray, the wrecking ball is waining
She says, ";The satellite is coming.
It's come to take us home";.
Satellite...
Still smells of the sun
and the light that brings healing
is burning my eyes
and the dark seems so nice
and I'm choking on blessings that I can receive
I hide.
She says, ";The satellite is coming";.
I pray, wrecking ball is waining.
She says, ";The satellite is coming.
It's come to take us home";.

www.euronews.com Unless you were lucky enough to get your hands on a coveted London 2012 Olympics ticket, it's likely you'll be watching Usain Bolt from the comfort of your living room. This is all made possible by satellites which have beamed some of the most important moments in history to our homes. This year marks 50 years since the first image was beamed through space and back to earth again via satellite. In 1962 satellite TV itself was making the headlines, with the launch of Telstar from Cape Canaveral, USA. Once in orbit it began to transmit pictures which found their way to Plemeur Bodou on the coast of Brittany. The first ever moving image to be broadcast by satellite across the Atlantic was a shot of the American flag. The next day the French engineers responded with their favourite crooner Yves Montand. Things have moved on since then, and nowadays it is breaking news stories and global sports events which are most frequently beamed live into space and back into our homes.

When they get back to the car, they see that a NASA satellite with smoke coming out of it has fallen from space right onto the hood of the car they were supposed to watch. Then a van full of men in black suits pulls up. The men talk on their cell phones, take the satellite away and speed off, leaving the victims with an unbelievable story to tell.

This article is about artificial satellites. For natural satellites, also known as moons, see Natural satellite.
For other uses, see Satellite (disambiguation).
In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavour. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon.
The world's first artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. Since then, thousands of satellites have been launched into orbit around the Earth; also some satellites, notably space stations, have been launched in parts and assembled in orbit. Artificial satellites originate from more than 50 countries and have used the satellite launching capabilities of ten nations. A few hundred satellites are currently operational, whereas thousands of unused satellites and satellite fragments orbit the Earth as space debris. A few space probes have been placed into orbit around other bodies and become artificial satellites to the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Sun.
Satellites are used for a large number of purposes. Common types include military and civilian Earth observation satellites, communications satellites, navigation satellites, weather satellites, and research satellites. Space stations and human spacecraft in orbit are also satellites. Satellite orbits vary greatly, depending on the purpose of the satellite, and are classified in a number of ways. Well-known (overlapping) classes include low Earth orbit, polar orbit, and geostationary orbit.
Satellites are usually semi-independent computer-controlled systems. Satellite subsystems attend many tasks, such as power generation, thermal control, telemetry, attitude control and orbit control.

History[link]
Early conceptions[link]
"Newton's cannonball", presented as a "thought experiment" in A Treatise of the System of the World, was the first published mathematical study of the possibility of an artificial satellite.
The first fictional depiction of a satellite being launched into orbit is a short story by Edward Everett Hale, The Brick Moon. The story is serialized in The Atlantic Monthly, starting in 1869.[1][2] The idea surfaces again in Jules Verne's The Begum's Fortune (1879).
In 1903, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857–1935) published Means of Reaction Devices (in Russian: Исследование мировых пространств реактивными приборами), which is the first academic treatise on the use of rocketry to launch spacecraft. He calculated the orbital speed required for a minimal orbit around the Earth at 8 km/s, and that a multi-stage rocket fueled by liquid propellants could be used to achieve this. He proposed the use of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, though other combinations can be used.
In 1928 Slovenian Herman Potočnik (1892–1929) published his sole book, The Problem of Space Travel — The Rocket Motor (German: Das Problem der Befahrung des Weltraums — der Raketen-Motor), a plan for a breakthrough into space and a permanent human presence there. He conceived of a space station in detail and calculated its geostationary orbit. He described the use of orbiting spacecraft for detailed peaceful and military observation of the ground and described how the special conditions of space could be useful for scientific experiments. The book described geostationary satellites (first put forward by Tsiolkovsky) and discussed communication between them and the ground using radio, but fell short of the idea of using satellites for mass broadcasting and as telecommunications relays.
In a 1945 Wireless World article the English science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke (1917–2008) described in detail the possible use of communications satellites for mass communications.[3] Clarke examined the logistics of satellite launch, possible orbits and other aspects of the creation of a network of world-circling satellites, pointing to the benefits of high-speed global communications. He also suggested that three geostationary satellites would provide coverage over the entire planet.
The US military studied the idea of what was referred to as the earth satellite vehicle when Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, made a public announcement on December 29, 1948 that his office was coordinating that project between the various services.[4]
History of artificial satellites[link]
The first artificial satellite was Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, and initiating the Soviet Sputnik program, with Sergei Korolev as chief designer (there is a crater on the lunar far side which bears his name). This in turn triggered the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the United States.
Sputnik 1 helped to identify the density of high atmospheric layers through measurement of its orbital change and provided data on radio-signal distribution in the ionosphere. The unanticipated announcement of Sputnik 1's success precipitated the Sputnik crisis in the United States and ignited the so-called Space Race within the Cold War.
Sputnik 2 was launched on November 3, 1957 and carried the first living passenger into orbit, a dog named Laika.[5]
In May, 1946, Project RAND had released the Preliminary Design of an Experimental World-Circling Spaceship, which stated, "A satellite vehicle with appropriate instrumentation can be expected to be one of the most potent scientific tools of the Twentieth Century.[6] The United States had been considering launching orbital satellites since 1945 under the Bureau of Aeronautics of the United States Navy. The United States Air Force's Project RAND eventually released the above report, but did not believe that the satellite was a potential military weapon; rather, they considered it to be a tool for science, politics, and propaganda. In 1954, the Secretary of Defense stated, "I know of no American satellite program."[7]
On July 29, 1955, the White House announced that the U.S. intended to launch satellites by the spring of 1958. This became known as Project Vanguard. On July 31, the Soviets announced that they intended to launch a satellite by the fall of 1957.
Following pressure by the American Rocket Society, the National Science Foundation, and the International Geophysical Year, military interest picked up and in early 1955 the Army and Navy were working on Project Orbiter, two competing programs, the army's which involved using a Jupiter C rocket, and the civilian/Navy Vanguard Rocket, to launch a satellite. At first, they failed: initial preference was given to the Vanguard program whose launch vehicle had a strange and uncanny way of exploding on national television. But finally, three months after Sputnik 2, the project succeeded; Explorer 1 thus became the United States' first artificial satellite on January 31, 1958.[8]
In June 1961, three-and-a-half years after the launch of Sputnik 1, the Air Force used resources of the United States Space Surveillance Network to catalog 115 Earth-orbiting satellites.[9]
The largest artificial satellite currently orbiting the Earth is the International Space Station.
Space Surveillance Network[link]
Main article: United States Space Surveillance Network
The United States Space Surveillance Network (SSN), a division of The United States Strategic Command, has been tracking objects in Earth's orbit since 1957 when the Soviets opened the space age with the launch of Sputnik I. Since then, the SSN has tracked more than 26,000 objects. The SSN currently tracks more than 8,000 man-made orbiting objects. The rest have re-entered Earth's atmosphere and disintegrated, or survived re-entry and impacted the Earth. The SSN tracks objects that are 10 centimeters in diameter or larger; those now orbiting Earth range from satellites weighing several tons to pieces of spent rocket bodies weighing only 10 pounds. About seven percent are operational satellites (i.e. ~560 satellites), the rest are space debris.[10] The United States Strategic Command is primarily interested in the active satellites, but also tracks space debris which upon reentry might otherwise be mistaken for incoming missiles.
A search of the NSSDC Master Catalog at the end of October 2010 listed 6,578 satellites launched into orbit since 1957, the latest being Chang'e 2, on 1 October 2010.[11]
Non-military satellite services[link]
There are three basic categories of non-military satellite services:[12]
Fixed satellite services[link]
Fixed satellite services handle hundreds of billions of voice, data, and video transmission tasks across all countries and continents between certain points on the Earth's surface.
Mobile satellite systems[link]
Mobile satellite systems help connect remote regions, vehicles, ships, people and aircraft to other parts of the world and/or other mobile or stationary communications units, in addition to serving as navigation systems.
Scientific research satellites (commercial and noncommercial)[link]
Scientific research satellites provide us with meteorological information, land survey data (e.g., remote sensing), Amateur (HAM) Radio, and other different scientific research applications such as earth science, marine science, and atmospheric research.
Types[link]
- Anti-Satellite weapons/"Killer Satellites" are satellites that are designed to destroy enemy warheads, satellites, other space assets.
- Astronomical satellites are satellites used for observation of distant planets, galaxies, and other outer space objects.
- Biosatellites are satellites designed to carry living organisms, generally for scientific experimentation.
- Communications satellites are satellites stationed in space for the purpose of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites typically use geosynchronous orbits, Molniya orbits or Low Earth orbits.
- Miniaturized satellites are satellites of unusually low weights and small sizes.[13] New classifications are used to categorize these satellites: minisatellite (500–100 kg), microsatellite (below 100 kg), nanosatellite (below 10 kg).
- Navigational satellites are satellites which use radio time signals transmitted to enable mobile receivers on the ground to determine their exact location. The relatively clear line of sight between the satellites and receivers on the ground, combined with ever-improving electronics, allows satellite navigation systems to measure location to accuracies on the order of a few meters in real time.
- Reconnaissance satellites are Earth observation satellite or communications satellite deployed for military or intelligence applications. Very little is known about the full power of these satellites, as governments who operate them usually keep information pertaining to their reconnaissance satellites classified.
- Earth observation satellites are satellites intended for non-military uses such as environmental monitoring, meteorology, map making etc. (See especially Earth Observing System.)
- Tether satellites are satellites which are connected to another satellite by a thin cable called a tether.
- Weather satellites are primarily used to monitor Earth's weather and climate.[14]
- Recovery satellites are satellites that provides a recovery of reconnaissance, biological, space-production and other payloads from orbit to Earth.
- Manned spacecraft (spaceships) are large satellites able for put human into (and beyond) an orbit, being on it and recovery back to Earth. Spacecrafts, and orbital parts-spaceplanes of reusable systems also, has a major propulsion or landing facilities, and often uses as transport to and from the orbital stations.
- Space stations are man-made orbital structures that are designed for human beings to live on in outer space. A space station is distinguished from other manned spacecraft by its lack of major propulsion or landing facilities. Space stations are designed for medium-term living in orbit, for periods of weeks, months, or even years.
Orbit types[link]
Main article: List of orbits
The first satellite, Sputnik 1, was put into orbit around Earth and was therefore in geocentric orbit. By far this is the most common type of orbit with approximately 2456 artificial satellites orbiting the Earth. Geocentric orbits may be further classified by their altitude, inclination and eccentricity.
The commonly used altitude classifications are Low Earth orbit (LEO), Medium Earth orbit (MEO) and High Earth orbit (HEO). Low Earth orbit is any orbit below 2000 km, and Medium Earth orbit is any orbit higher than that but still below the altitude for geosynchronous orbit at 35786 km. High Earth orbit is any orbit higher than the altitude for geosynchronous orbit.
Centric classifications[link]
- Geocentric orbit: An orbit around the planet Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites. Currently there are approximately 2465 artificial satellites orbiting the Earth.
- Heliocentric orbit: An orbit around the Sun. In our Solar System, all planets, comets, and asteroids are in such orbits, as are many artificial satellites and pieces of space debris. Moons by contrast are not in a heliocentric orbit but rather orbit their parent planet.
- Areocentric orbit: An orbit around the planet Mars, such as by moons or artificial satellites.
The general structure of a satellite is that it is connected to the earth stations that are present on the ground and connected through terrestrial links.
Altitude classifications[link]
- Low Earth orbit (LEO): Geocentric orbits ranging in altitude from 0–2000 km (0–1240 miles)
- Medium Earth orbit (MEO): Geocentric orbits ranging in altitude from 2,000 km (1,200 mi) to just below geosynchronous orbit at 35,786 km (22,236 mi). Also known as an intermediate circular orbit.
- High Earth orbit (HEO): Geocentric orbits above the altitude of geosynchronous orbit 35,786 km (22,236 mi).
Inclination classifications[link]
- Inclined orbit: An orbit whose inclination in reference to the equatorial plane is not zero degrees.
- Polar orbit: An orbit that passes above or nearly above both poles of the planet on each revolution. Therefore it has an inclination of (or very close to) 90 degrees.
- Polar sun synchronous orbit: A nearly polar orbit that passes the equator at the same local time on every pass. Useful for image taking satellites because shadows will be nearly the same on every pass.
Eccentricity classifications[link]
- Circular orbit: An orbit that has an eccentricity of 0 and whose path traces a circle.
- Hohmann transfer orbit: An orbital maneuver that moves a spacecraft from one circular orbit to another using two engine impulses. This maneuver was named after Walter Hohmann.
- Elliptic orbit: An orbit with an eccentricity greater than 0 and less than 1 whose orbit traces the path of an ellipse.
- Geosynchronous transfer orbit: An elliptic orbit where the perigee is at the altitude of a Low Earth orbit (LEO) and the apogee at the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit.
- Geostationary transfer orbit: An elliptic orbit where the perigee is at the altitude of a Low Earth orbit (LEO) and the apogee at the altitude of a geostationary orbit.
- Molniya orbit: A highly elliptic orbit with inclination of 63.4° and orbital period of half of a sidereal day (roughly 12 hours). Such a satellite spends most of its time over two designated areas of the planet (specifically Russia and the United States).
- Tundra orbit: A highly elliptic orbit with inclination of 63.4° and orbital period of one sidereal day (roughly 24 hours). Such a satellite spends most of its time over a single designated area of the planet.
Synchronous classifications[link]
- Synchronous orbit: An orbit where the satellite has an orbital period equal to the average rotational period (earth's is: 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.091 seconds) of the body being orbited and in the same direction of rotation as that body. To a ground observer such a satellite would trace an analemma (figure 8) in the sky.
- Semi-synchronous orbit (SSO): An orbit with an altitude of approximately 20,200 km (12,600 mi) and an orbital period equal to one-half of the average rotational period (earth's is approximately 12 hours) of the body being orbited
- Geosynchronous orbit (GSO): Orbits with an altitude of approximately 35,786 km (22,236 mi). Such a satellite would trace an analemma (figure 8) in the sky.
- Geostationary orbit (GEO): A geosynchronous orbit with an inclination of zero. To an observer on the ground this satellite would appear as a fixed point in the sky.[15]
- Clarke orbit: Another name for a geostationary orbit. Named after scientist and writer Arthur C. Clarke.
- Supersynchronous orbit: A disposal / storage orbit above GSO/GEO. Satellites will drift west. Also a synonym for Disposal orbit.
- Subsynchronous orbit: A drift orbit close to but below GSO/GEO. Satellites will drift east.
- Graveyard orbit: An orbit a few hundred kilometers above geosynchronous that satellites are moved into at the end of their operation.
- Disposal orbit: A synonym for graveyard orbit.
- Junk orbit: A synonym for graveyard orbit.
- Geostationary orbit (GEO): A geosynchronous orbit with an inclination of zero. To an observer on the ground this satellite would appear as a fixed point in the sky.[15]
- Areosynchronous orbit: A synchronous orbit around the planet Mars with an orbital period equal in length to Mars' sidereal day, 24.6229 hours.
- Areostationary orbit (ASO): A circular areosynchronous orbit on the equatorial plane and about 17000 km(10557 miles) above the surface. To an observer on the ground this satellite would appear as a fixed point in the sky.
- Heliosynchronous orbit: A heliocentric orbit about the Sun where the satellite's orbital period matches the Sun's period of rotation. These orbits occur at a radius of 24,360 Gm (0.1628 AU) around the Sun, a little less than half of the orbital radius of Mercury.
Special classifications[link]
- Sun-synchronous orbit: An orbit which combines altitude and inclination in such a way that the satellite passes over any given point of the planets's surface at the same local solar time. Such an orbit can place a satellite in constant sunlight and is useful for imaging, spy, and weather satellites.
- Moon orbit: The orbital characteristics of Earth's Moon. Average altitude of 384,403 kilometres (238,857 mi), elliptical–inclined orbit.
Pseudo-orbit classifications[link]
- Horseshoe orbit: An orbit that appears to a ground observer to be orbiting a certain planet but is actually in co-orbit with the planet. See asteroids 3753 (Cruithne) and 2002 AA29.
- Exo-orbit: A maneuver where a spacecraft approaches the height of orbit but lacks the velocity to sustain it.
- Suborbital spaceflight: A synonym for exo-orbit.
- Lunar transfer orbit (LTO)
- Prograde orbit: An orbit with an inclination of less than 90°. Or rather, an orbit that is in the same direction as the rotation of the primary.
- Retrograde orbit: An orbit with an inclination of more than 90°. Or rather, an orbit counter to the direction of rotation of the planet. Apart from those in sun-synchronous orbit, few satellites are launched into retrograde orbit because the quantity of fuel required to launch them is much greater than for a prograde orbit. This is because when the rocket starts out on the ground, it already has an eastward component of velocity equal to the rotational velocity of the planet at its launch latitude.
- Halo orbit and Lissajous orbit: Orbits "around" Lagrangian points.
Satellite subsystems[link]
The satellite's functional versatility is imbedded within its technical components and its operations characteristics. Looking at the "anatomy" of a typical satellite, one discovers two modules.[12] Note that some novel architectural concepts such as Fractionated Spacecraft somewhat upset this taxonomy.
Spacecraft bus or service module[link]
This bus module consist of the following subsystems:
- The Structural Subsystems
The structural subsystem provides the mechanical base structure, shields the satellite from extreme temperature changes and micro-meteorite damage, and controls the satellite's spin functions.
- The Telemetry Subsystems (aka Command and Data Handling, C&DH)
The telemetry subsystem monitors the on-board equipment operations, transmits equipment operation data to the earth control station, and receives the earth control station's commands to perform equipment operation adjustments.
- The Power Subsystems
The power subsystem consists of solar panels and backup batteries that generate power when the satellite passes into the Earth's shadow. Nuclear power sources (Radioisotope thermoelectric generators) have been used in several successful satellite programs including the Nimbus program (1964–1978).[16]
- The Thermal Control Subsystems
The thermal control subsystem helps protect electronic equipment from extreme temperatures due to intense sunlight or the lack of sun exposure on different sides of the satellite's body (e.g. Optical Solar Reflector)
- The Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystems
Main article: Attitude control
The attitude and orbit control subsystem consists of small rocket thrusters that keep the satellite in the correct orbital position and keep antennas positioning in the right directions.
Communication payload[link]
The second major module is the communication payload, which is made up of transponders. A transponder is capable of :
- Receiving uplinked radio signals from earth satellite transmission stations (antennas).
- Amplifying received radio signals
- Sorting the input signals and directing the output signals through input/output signal multiplexers to the proper downlink antennas for retransmission to earth satellite receiving stations (antennas).
End of life[link]
When satellites reach the end of their mission, satellite operators have the option of de-orbiting the satellite, leaving the satellite in its current orbit or moving the satellite to a graveyard orbit. Historically, due to budgetary constraints at the beginning of satellite missions, satellites were rarely designed to be de-orbited. One example of this practice is the satellite Vanguard 1. Launched in 1958, Vanguard 1, the 4th manmade satellite put in Geocentric orbit, was still in orbit as of August 2009.[17]
Instead of being de-orbited, most satellites are either left in their current orbit or moved to a graveyard orbit.[18] As of 2002, the FCC now requires all geostationary satellites to commit to moving to a graveyard orbit at the end of their operational life prior to launch.[19]
Launch-capable countries[link]
Main article: Timeline of first orbital launches by nationality
This list includes countries with an independent capability to place satellites in orbit, including production of the necessary launch vehicle. Note: many more countries have the capability to design and build satellites but are unable to launch them, instead relying on foreign launch services. This list does not consider those numerous countries, but only lists those capable of launching satellites indigenously, and the date this capability was first demonstrated. Does not include consortium satellites or multi-national satellites.

- United States tried in 1957 to launch the first satellite by own launcher before successfully completing a launch in 1958.
- China tried in 1969 to launch the first satellite by own launcher before successfully completing a launch in 1970.
- India, after launching the first national satellite by foreign launcher in 1975, tried in 1979 to launch the first satellite by own launcher before succeeding in 1980.
- Iraq have claimed orbital launch of warhead in 1989, but this claim is unconfirmed.
- Brazil, after launch of first national satellite by foreign launcher in 1985, tried to launched the satellites by own VLS 1 launcher three times in 1997, 1999, 2003 but all were unsuccessful.
- North Korea claimed a launch of Kwangmyŏngsŏng-1 and Kwangmyŏngsŏng-2 satellites in 1998 and 2009, but U.S., Russian and other officials and weapons experts later reported that the rockets failed to send a satellites into orbit, if that was the goal. The United States, Japan and South Korea believe this was actually a ballistic missile test, which is a claim also made after North Korea's 1998 satellite launch, and later rejected. The launch of Kwangmyŏngsŏng-3 was unsuccessful, a fact publicly recognized by the DPRK.
- South Korea (Korea Aerospace Research Institute), after launching their first national satellite by foreign launcher in 1992, tried to launch a first KSLV own launcher (created with assistance of Russia) in 2009 and 2011, but all were unsuccessful.
Other notes[link]
- Russia and Ukraine were parts of the Soviet Union and thus inherited their launch capability without the need to develop it indigenously. Through Soviet Union they also are on the number one position in this list of accomplishments.
- France, United Kingdom, Ukraine launched their first satellites by own launchers from foreign spaceports.
- Some countries such as South Africa, Spain, Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Egypt and private companies such as OTRAG, have developed their own launchers, but have not had a successful launch.
- Only eight countries from the list above (Russia and Ukraine instead of USSR, also USA, Japan, China, India, Israel and Iran) and one regional organization (the European Space Agency, ESA) have independently launched satellites on their own indigenously developed launch vehicles. (The launch capabilities of the United Kingdom and France now fall under the ESA.)
- Several other countries, including South Korea, Brazil, Pakistan, Romania, Kazakhstan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia[citation needed] and Turkey, are at various stages of development of their own small-scale launcher capabilities.
Launch capable private entities[link]
- Orbital Sciences Corporation is conducting launches using its Taurus I rocket.
- On September 28, 2008, the private aerospace firm SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 1 rocket in to orbit. This marked the first time that a privately built liquid-fueled booster was able to reach orbit.[20] The rocket carried a prism shaped 1.5 m (5 ft) long payload mass simulator that was set into orbit. The dummy satellite, known as Ratsat, will remain in orbit for between five and ten years before burning up in the atmosphere.[20]
A few other private companies are capable of sub-orbital launches.

The same goes for Australia, who launched on-board a donated Redstone rocket. The first Italian-launched was San Marco 1, launched on 15 December 1964 on a U.S. Scout rocket from Wallops Island (VA,USA) with an Italian Launch Team trained by NASA.[28] Australia's launch project (WRESAT) involved a donated U.S. missile and U. S. support staff as well as a joint launch facility with the United Kingdom.[29] The first satellite built by Singapore, X-SAT, was launched aboard a PSLV rocket on April 20, 2011.[30]

Attacks on satellites[link]
For more details on this topic, see Anti-satellite weapon.
In recent times satellites have been hacked by militant organizations to broadcast propaganda and to pilfer classified information from military communication networks.[48][49]
For testing purposes, satellites in low earth orbit have been destroyed by ballistic missiles launched from earth. Russia, the United States and China have demonstrated the ability to eliminate satellites.[50] In 2007 the Chinese military shot down an aging weather satellite,[50] followed by the US Navy shooting down a defunct spy satellite in February 2008.[51]
Jamming[link]
Due to the low received signal strength of satellite transmissions, they are prone to jamming by land-based transmitters. Such jamming is limited to the geographical area within the transmitter's range. GPS satellites are potential targets for jamming,[52][53] but satellite phone and television signals have also been subjected to jamming.[54][55]
Also, it is trivial to transmit a carrier radio signal to a geostationary satellite and thus interfere with the legitimate uses of the satellite's transponder. It is common for Earth stations to transmit at the wrong time or on the wrong frequency in commercial satellite space, and dual-illuminate the transponder, rendering the frequency unusable. Satellite operators now have sophisticated monitoring that enables them to pinpoint the source of any carrier and manage the transponder space effectively.[citation needed]

Early life[link]
Lena Meyer-Landrut was born in Hanover, Germany.[10] She is the granddaughter of Andreas Meyer-Landrut, the Estonian-born West German ambassador to the Soviet Union in Moscow from 1980 to 1983 and 1987 to 1989.[11][12][13] She grew up as an only child,[10] and started taking dancing lessons at the age of five; initially doing ballet and later practising various modern styles, including hip-hop and jazz dance.[14] Meyer-Landrut grew fond of singing and appeared as an extra in a number of German television series;[10] however she never received any formal acting or vocal training.[15] In June 2010 she graduated from IGS Roderbruch Hannover, a comprehensive school, receiving her Abitur diploma.[16]
Career[link]
[edit] Unser Star für Oslo
Despite having had no professional singing experience,[15] Meyer-Landrut decided to take part in the talent show Unser Star für Oslo (Our Star for Oslo), a newly created national television programme to select the German entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo. The show was organised by public broadcaster ARD and private television station ProSieben, as well as entertainer and music producer Stefan Raab. Among 4,500 entrants, Meyer-Landrut was picked as one of the 20 contestants for the show. Asked about her motivation to apply, she stated, "I like to test myself. I wanted to see how I am perceived, and I wanted to hear what people with knowledge have to say about it. I personally can’t judge myself at all."[12]
After her first appearance, performing "My Same" by British singer Adele, Meyer-Landrut received much praise from the show's jury panel and was instantly considered the favourite.[15] The following week, Adele's "My Same" entered the German singles chart at position number 61.[17] Meyer-Landrut reached the final of Unser Star für Oslo, mainly performing lesser known songs of international artists such as The Bird and the Bee, Kate Nash, Paolo Nutini and Lisa Mitchell. Out of her eight cover performances, five of the original songs subsequently charted in Germany, with all but one reaching their peak chart position.[18][19][20][21] In the final on 12 March 2010, Meyer-Landrut sang three songs specifically written for the contest, "Bee", "Satellite" and "Love Me". Through televoting, the audience chose "Satellite", written by US American Julie Frost and Dane John Gordon, to be her designated song in case she wins the show. In a second round of voting, Meyer-Landrut was chosen as Germany's entry for the 55th Eurovision Song Contest, beating the last remaining contestant, Jennifer Braun.[22] The music video for "Satellite" was shot during the night of the final and premiered on German television stations four days later.[23]

Throughout the show, Meyer-Landrut was seen as the clear favourite, often leading Internet polls by huge margins.[24] One day after winning Unser Star für Oslo, all three of the songs performed by her in the final topped the German iTunes Store sales chart,[25] making her the first singer to achieve that.[26] "Satellite" sold over 100,000 downloads in its first week, becoming Germany's fastest selling digital release ever.[27] Her three songs all entered the top five of the German singles chart, reaching positions number one, three and four, which no artist had ever achieved since charts were first released in Germany in 1959.[5] "Satellite" was eligible to be certified gold after the first week and platinum after the fourth week of its release.[27][28] The song has remained at number one for five consecutive weeks in Germany.[29]
While competing at Unser Star für Oslo, Meyer-Landrut continued to attend school. The last show was held one month before the start of her final exams.[10] Following her exams, she released her debut album, My Cassette Player, on 7 May 2010.[30] Produced by Stefan Raab, it includes the singles "Satellite", "Love Me" and "Bee", as well as two cover songs and eight unreleased titles. Meyer-Landrut is credited as a co-writer for the lyrics of five songs.[31] The album debuted at number one in the German albums chart.[8] It peaked at number one in the Austrian albums chart, number three in the Swiss albums chart, number five in European Top 100 Albums,[32][33][34] and has been certified five times Gold in Germany for sales of over 500,000 units since.[7]
Following her success in Germany, Meyer-Landrut has said she would enjoy a singing or an acting career,[12] but explained, "I'm not fixated on doing music my whole life."[35] She stated she originally planned to study acting after graduating school, but now is unsure "if time allows".[35] She has said her musical influences include Adele, Kate Nash, Vanessa Carlton, as well as the German singer Clueso and German pop rock band Wir sind Helden.[14]
Eurovision Song Contest[link]

Representing a "big four" country, Meyer-Landrut automatically qualified for the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. Germany received a wild card during the running order draw, allowing the German representatives to pick the country's position for the final. They chose position 22 out of the 25 spots. Meyer-Landrut arrived one week before the show in Oslo, Norway, where she completed five rehearsals of her song "Satellite". Prior to the final, she was considered one of the favourites. Bookmakers regarded her second favourite behind Azerbaijan's Safura, while Google projected she would win based on search volume in the participating countries.[36] According to Norway's Aftenposten she received the most media attention of all participants.[37]
The final was held on 29 May 2010 at Oslo's Telenor Arena. Appearing fourth from last, Meyer-Landrut wore a simple black dress and performed on a bare stage with four backing singers. Her pared-back presentation was a break from recent Eurovision trends, as it did not feature any form of choreography, dancers or elaborate stage show.[38] "Satellite" received a total of 246 points, giving Germany its first win since 1982, and the first victory as a unified country. The song won over Turkey's entry "We Could Be the Same" with a margin of 76 points, at that time the second-biggest in Eurovision history, second only to Alexander Rybak's margin of 169 points in the 2009 contest (it would later be beaten by Loreen's victory in 2012, sporting a margin of 113 points). "Satellite" received the maximum 12 points nine times and received points from all but five countries.[4]
2010–2011[link]
The BBC called "Satellite" the first "contemporary pop hit Eurovision has produced in decades", ushering in "a new era for the annual music jamboree".[39] Meyer-Landrut's victory received much attention in Germany and the show was seen by 15 million viewers on German television (a 49.1 percent market share).[40] She returned to Hanover the following day, where she was greeted by 40,000 people.[41] In June, "Satellite" regained the top spot in the German singles chart for one week and also peaked at number one in Denmark,[42] Finland,[43] Norway,[44] Sweden[45] and Switzerland.[46] It also topped European Hot 100 singles chart,[47] being the first Eurovision song to achieve this.[48]
Meyer-Landrut attempted to defend her title in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.[9] She was the third winner to do so, and the first in over 50 years.[49]
In the German dubbed version of the computer-animated film Sammy's Adventures: The Secret Passage, Meyer-Landrut provided the voice for the character originally spoken by Isabelle Fuhrman.[50][51]
In January 2011, the TV-Show "Unser Song für Deutschland" was announced. The viewers of the show decided for Meyer-Landrut's 2011 Eurovision song.[52] All twelve songs Meyer-Landrut performed during that show were recorded on her second studio album Good News which was released on 8 February 2011. The album managed to reach a Gold status for selling more than 100,000 units in Germany in its first week of release.[53]
On February 18, the "Unser Song für Deutschland" final was held and it was decided through televoting that Meyer-Landrut would perform the entry "Taken by a Stranger" in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011[54] where it was placed tenth. The song was released on 22 February 2011.[55]
In April 2011 she went on her first German tour in the largest concert halls in Berlin, Hanover, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Leipzig, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and Cologne. The concert in Frankfurt was recorded on video and was released on DVD in May 2011 which went to #1 in German DVD chart.
2012-present[link]
On May 24, 2012, Lena performed as part of the interval act during the second semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan. She was joined by the last five Eurovision winners from 2007 to 2011 which included Marija Šerifović, Dima Bilan, Alexander Rybak, and Ell & Nikki. Lena, Marija, Dima and Alexander performed their winning song entry accompanied by traditional Azeri instruments, being joined by Ell & Nikki for a rendition of "Waterloo".[56]
Media image[link]
Meyer-Landrut has been noted for her unconventional way of handling the press,[57] which has been labelled "aloof" as well as "quick-witted" and "intuitive".[57] She usually refuses to answer questions about her private life, including her family, friends and personal beliefs, sometimes calling questions "stupid" or responding with counterquestions instead.[57] This has drawn praise as well as criticism, including allegations of arrogance.[58]
Meyer-Landrut's demeanour has been described as "carefree",[59] "laid-back and self-effacing".[60] She has been said to possess an "adequate youthful megalomania", to "cultivate her forwardness" and to stand for "unadorned genuineness"[59] and "sincerity".[61] She has also been said to give "infatuation a rhythm"[60] and blur the "fine line between puppy love and psychotic obsession".[62] Her vocals have been both lauded[61][63] and criticised.[63] The extent of her vocal control can be heard in the Australian broadcast of the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, where, upon being interviewed by an Australian host, she responds in an uncannily perfect Melbourne-style accent. In an attempt to explain Meyer-Landrut's success, her appearance has been called a "mix of loveliness, professionalism and a little craziness".[64] She has also been lauded for her stage presence[64] and charisma.[61]

Biography[link]
Archer was born in, Bradford, Yorkshire. She first worked as a sewing machine operator and joined a group called 'Dignity' as a backing vocalist. Later, after acquiring secretarial skills, she became a clerk at Leeds Magistrates' Court.
She helped out at a recording studio in Bradford called Flexible Response, and subsequently began working with musicians John Hughes and John Beck. Archer signed to EMI in 1990, and released her first single, "Sleeping Satellite" in August 1992, which went to #1 in the UK Singles Chart.[1] The single also enjoyed minor success in the U.S. where it peaked at #32 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] The album Great Expectations followed in October 1992, reaching #8 in the UK Albums Chart,[1] and achieved gold disc status by December for sales of more than 100,000 copies. Further singles from the album followed, and although they were Top 40 hits in the UK, they did not achieve the same level of success as her début. In 1993, Archer won a BRIT Award for the Best British Breakthrough Act. However, later she joked that she kept her award in the back of her kitchen cupboard, and claimed that she used it for cracking nuts and tenderising steak.[citation needed]
After disappearing from the limelight, Archer reappeared in 1996 with her second album Bloom. However, the single "One More Good Night With The Boys" failed to reach the UK Top 40, and the album failed to chart at all. In late 1997, disagreements with EMI left Archer somewhat disillusioned and feeling like she had been treated as a commodity. She decided to take a short break from the industry.[3] After two years she felt the time was right to start writing again but was hindered by writer's block. Although this did not prevent her from being initially creative she found it difficult to finish anything musically.[citation needed] However, she did not let this stop her from expressing her creativity in other ways, and she began painting and moulding clay. It was also during this time that her love of Sunderland A.F.C. blossomed, buying a season-ticket with her Sunderland born musician partner John Hughes in 1999, after falling in love with the team when taken to her first match in the late 1980s. She retains her ticket to this day.[4]
After working through the block and starting in 2002, she and Hughes worked on a new album. Initially this was going to be titled 'Non Linear', but later became ON. Several demo versions of the songs from this album were available for free from the messagetothemagnet website, which was created for the purpose. People were encouraged to send feedback on the material.
ON was released on 25 September 2006 on Archer's own label, Quiverdisc. It was preceded on 20 September by a download only single, "Every Time I Want It (Effect is Monotony)", a radio edit of the album track "Effect is Monotony".
