In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into orbit. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as Earth's 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. Some satellites, notably space stations, have been launched in parts and assembled in orbit. Artificial satellites originate from more than 40 countries and have used the satellite launching capabilities of ten nations. About a thousand 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, Vesta, Eros, Ceres, 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.

The NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) represents a critical first step in building the next-generation weather satellite system. Goddard Space Flight Center is leading NASA's effort to launch a satellite that will carry the first of the new sensors developed for this next-generation system, previously called the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) and now the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS). This animation shows the NPP satellite launching from Vandenberg Air Force Base on a Delta II rocket, followed by all stages of deployment and orbit positioning. credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center source: http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/goto?10742
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 Winters cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Satellite, headlines read Someones secrets youve seen Eyes and ears have been Satellite dish in my yard Tell me more, tell me more Whos the king of your satellite castle? Winters cold spring erases And the calm away by the storm is chasing Everything good needs replacing Look up, look down all around, hey satellite Rest high above the clouds no resrictions Television we bounce round the world And while I spend these hours Five senses reeling, I laugh about the weathermans...

Witout rocket but with powerful US F-15 jet Plane. Airborne Launch Assist Space Access, or DARPA ALASA, a current program of the US defense technology agency DARPA "designed to produce a rocket capable of launching a 100-pound satellite into low Earth orbit for less than $1 million." The program was conceived, then announced in 2011, and funded development work began in 2012. Credit video: Darpa Traditional launch methods of satellites are too costly to put small payloads into orbit without a larger payload accompanying it to make the launch worth the expense. Current launches of sub-100-pound satellites are performed as "piggyback payloads" on launches of much larger spacecraft, usually headed for geostationary orbit, and are released at the altitude of the primary payload. In addition, ...

I turn to leave and you grab my sleeve
You say, "Why so fast, can? t we make this last?"
I said, "Ten years that? s a mighty long time"
It seems by now you could? ve made up your mind
You just want me to be a
Satellite to your sun
I want to fly free in heaven
Satellite you want me
To be caught in your gravity
You pull me in then you push away again
What scares you the most is when I get too close
And you? re terrified of being alone
So you keep me hanging on
You just want me to be a
Satellite to your sun
I want to fly free in heaven
Satellite you want me
To be caught in your gravity
I will travel far to find the star
That every now and then will spin around me
Baby, I refuse to be a
Satellite to your sun
I want to fly free in heaven
Satellite you want me
To be a victim of your gravity
Satellite to your sun
Satellite to your sun
