- Venus - National Air and Space Museum
Earth's natural satellite is the Moon, but many objects in our Solar System have multiple natural satellites Humans have also created artificial satellites—human-made machines and spacecraft in orbit around our Earth or other objects in our galaxy
- Applications Satellites - National Air and Space Museum
In the tense years of the Cold War, such spacecraft (known as applications satellites) evolved down two separate paths: one devoted to national security needs, the other to civilian interests Today, hundreds of civilian and military applications satellites ring the Earth, often operating side-by-side in orbit
- Satellite, Communications, Sirius FM-4 - National Air and Space Museum
This satellite represents the first generation of space-based, commercial radio service developed by Sirius Radio, a U S company (now Sirius XM Radio) Designed in 1987 and initiating service in 2001, the Sirius satellite system consisted of three satellites that provided more than 150 digital music and audio channels to North America
- Neptune | National Air and Space Museum
Earth's natural satellite is the Moon, but many objects in our Solar System have multiple natural satellites Humans have also created artificial satellites—human-made machines and spacecraft in orbit around our Earth or other objects in our galaxy
- TIROS Meteorological Satellite - National Air and Space Museum
By the mid 1960s, the civilian TIROS program launched a series of satellites to provide routine, daily weather observations The program is still in operation today and, in conjunction with other weather satellites, has made space-based weather observations a commonplace of contemporary life
- Telstar - National Air and Space Museum
Telstar, launched in 1962, was the first active communications satellite: it received microwave signals from ground stations and retransmitted them across vast distances back to Earth It was the model for all subsequent communications satellites
- Echo 1 Communications Satellite - National Air and Space Museum
Radio signals directed at Echo from one location on Earth "bounced" to another By the time Echo 2 was launched in 1964, other types of communications satellites had proven superior, and researchers used the Echos primarily for scientific experiments Echo satellites, manufactured by the G T Schjeldahl Co , posed a unique technical challenge
- All About Rockets | National Air and Space Museum
As a mission manager, she is in charge of making sure Artemis astronauts can communicate with Earth at all times, through ground stations and satellites with the Near Space Network She also supports launch vehicles and robotics missions in her role as network director She has led over 30 missions at NASA since 2009
