The satellite makes multiple passes over the same area and compares the data to detect changes.
Rescuers wait until the satellites makes an extra pass, which can take as long as 100 minutes.
True, an extra satellite could make it more difficult for enemy troops to cloak maneuvers.
"We'll know in six hours when our satellite makes its first daylight pass."
The satellite made seven passes over the Quallheim Counties today.
The first 2 satellites in the series did not make it into orbit due to launch vehicle failure.
Scramble the satellites to make it impossible for those who did this to communicate with each other by phone.
Taking 100 minutes for each pole-to-pole orbit of the earth, the satellite makes 14 circumnavigations a day.
The satellite will make measurements useful for better understanding the Earth's thermal and solar radiation balance.
After all - and this is important too - these satellites will, for the first time, make full competition possible even within the various infrastructures.
