Satellites in our everyday life

The first satellite was launched into orbit in 1957, and from that day on, they have evolved rapidly. There is a growing number of satellites orbiting around the Earth, but we do not realize the important role satellites play in our daily lives.

They contribute to our well-being by allowing us to communicate between

widely dispersed locations, provide instant credit card authorization or have video conferences with people from different parts of the world.

Satellites can also help meteorologists to see the weather on a global scale, follow the effects of volcanic eruptions, and stare at hurricanes as they evolve, etc.
