The space age began on October 4, 1957 with the launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1.
This tiny spacecraft lasted only three months in orbit, finally burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.
Following in these historic footsteps, many more spacecraft have been sent into Earth's orbit, around the Moon, the Sun, the other planets, and even out of the Solar System itself.
At the time that I'm recording this video, there are 1071 operational satellites in orbit around the Earth.
50 percent of which were launched by the United States.
Half of that 1071 are in Low-Earth Orbit, just a few hundred kilometers above the surface.
Some of the most notable of these include the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and many Earth observation satellites.
About a twentieth are in Medium-Earth Orbit, around 20,000 kilometers up, which are generally global positioning satellites used for navigation.
A small handful are in elliptical orbits, where their orbit brings them closer and further to the Earth.
The rest are in geostationary orbit, at an altitude of almost 36,000 kilometers.
If we could see these satellites from Earth's surface, they would appear to hang motionless in the sky. The fact that they remain over the geographic same area means they provide the perfect platform for telecommunications, broadcast or weather observations.
But there are many, many more artificial objects orbiting the Earth. In this collection of space debris we're talking spent boosters, dead satellites, and even misplaced gloves.
According to the United States Space Surveillance Network, there are more than 21,000 objects larger than 10 cm orbiting the Earth. Just a small fraction of these are operational satellites.
It's estimated there are a further 500,000 bits and pieces between 1 and 10 cm in size.
Near Earth orbit is so polluted with junk that the International Space Station is often moved to avoid impact with dangerous chunks of space debris.
Many of these objects are created through collisions, and some scientists are worried that future space travel might be too risky if we get too much junk orbiting the planet.
We might seal ourselves inside a shield of shrieking metal moving at 29,000 km/hour.
Looking outwards from our own orbit, at any time there are a handful of satellites orbiting the Moon.Right now, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and LunarAtmosphere and DustEnvironmentExplorer are in lunar orbit.
Further still, there's 1 spacecraft around Mercury, 1 at Venus, 3 visiting Mars and 1 orbiting Saturn.
There's a handful of spacecraft orbiting the Sun, although they're leading or trailing the Earth in its orbit.
And a few spacecraft are on trajectories to take them out of the Solar System entirely.
NASA's Voyager spacecraft, exited the Sun's heliosphere in 2013, and entered the interstellar medium.
Starting with Sputnik's lonely journey over 50 years ago, It's amazing to consider just how many satellites we've already launched into space in just a few decades.
With more launches all the time, space is becoming a busy place, with so many exciting missions to look forward to.

GM1000 mount shown in action - Satellite tracking.
In the beginning the mount is pointing to horizon and waiting for satellite to come over the horizon, than it tracks it up to position when mount needs to do a "meridian flip", after that it is"catching" satellite again and continuing tracking.
Mount: 10 micron GM1000, HPS series by 10 micron, ItalyTelescopeTEC ADL300 F5.6. Camera man - Giovanni Quarra.
WSP2013, Key West, Florida, February 9.
The sound during this video comes not from microwave oven (-: it comes from the mount working in the satellite tracking mode, it is a sound of the first satellite - Sputnik.
Sputnik was the Soviet Union's and the world's first orbiting satellite launched into an Earth orbit on 4 October 1957.

This is about how the geostationary launch data and animations out there are at odds with the AB Law. The AB Law states: When going from point A to point B, A - being a fixed distance from - B, you must slow down and stop at B.

Over 6,600 satellites have been launched into space since the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957. 3,600 are currently in operation and launch frequencies are ever increasing to satisfy our global thirst for more communication, data and broadcast channels.
This video document some of the world’s most advanced commercial satellites from their design, construction and testing through to international transportation, space launch and operations. From SES headquarters in Luxembourg we control a large fleet of satellites, monitoring both their position and operation but also the data and broadcast channels they relay.

It makes me wonder why the international space station, does not have any sealing hatches, what would happen if one of those half million pieces of debris smashes into it, with the space station hitting a piece of debri at 17,500 mph, I would expect a major disaster for NASA. But we hear nothing of any accidents the entire time its been up there.
According to the Index of Objects Launched into Outer Space maintained by United NationsOffice for Outer Space Affairs, there are currently 4,256 satellites currently orbiting the planet.
According to NASA, There are around 22,000 objects in orbit that are big enough to track,
Many are 'space junk' such as old rockets and abandoned satellites, It is estimated as many as 370,000 pieces of space junk are floating in Earth's orbit, travelling at speeds of up to 22,000 mph.
According to space dot com, there are more than 35,000 satellites now in orbit around Earth.
Nobody seems to have any clue how many we actually have orbiting the earth.
They also state, several hundred satellites can be spotted with the unaided eye. These are the satellites that are large enough (typically more than 20 feet in length) and low enough (100 to 400 miles above Earth) to be most readily seen as sunlight reflects off them.
Let me just repeat that last part, to be most readily seen a sunlight reflects off them.
Lets look at some images from the international space station.
Is it me, or am I missing something here, I can not see a single satellite reflecting off the sun, and I purposely used images taken from the I S S of the sun rising so that the light would not flood the camera, there are no satellites to see, there is nothing up there to reflect from the sunlight except the moon, you never ever see a satellite from the space station
Where are all the several hundred satellites that can be spotted with the unaided eye, lets take a look at the moon, here are some video feeds, and I would like to point out, there is nothing between us and the moon, not a single satellite, nothing to see here. No low earth orbiting satellites, and no geostationary satellites. You cannot see them becuase they are all more than likely, hanging from high altitude weather baloons.
With the amount of satellites in space, you should at least see tens of them in front of the moon, I understand photography and depth of field, but remember there are also satellites in high earth orbit that should be visible with the magnification of the telescope used to record these videos. But again, nothing is seen, if you have a recording of a satellite in front of the moon, by all means, send it to me at tdcgp@Yahoo.co.uk so that I can share your findings.

Russian documentary
about a first human moon.
Sputnik I made history on October 4, 1957, by becoming the first man-made object put into orbit.

Sputnik 1

Sputnik 1 (/ˈspʌtnɪk/; Russian:Спутник-1[ˈsputnʲɪk] "Satellite-1", or ПС-1 ["PS-1", i.e. Russian:Простейший Спутник-1 "Elementary Satellite 1"]) was the first artificial Earth satellite. The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957. It was a 58cm (23in) diameter polished metal sphere, with four external radio antennae to broadcast radio pulses. It was visible all around the Earth and its radio pulses were detectable. This surprise success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis and triggered the Space Race, a part of the larger Cold War. The launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments.

Sputnik itself provided scientists with valuable information, even though it was not equipped with scientific instruments. The density of the upper atmosphere could be deduced from its drag on the orbit, and the propagation of its radio signals gave information about the ionosphere.

Sputnik 1 was launched during the International Geophysical Year from Site No.1/5, at the 5th Tyuratam range, in Kazakh SSR (now at the Baikonur Cosmodrome). The satellite travelled at about 29,000 kilometres per hour (18,000mph; 8,100m/s), taking 96.2 minutes to complete each orbit. It transmitted on 20.005 and 40.002 MHz which were monitored by amateur radio operators throughout the world. The signals continued for 21 days until the transmitter batteries ran out on 26 October 1957.Sputnik 1 burned up on 4 January 1958, as it fell from orbit upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, after travelling about 70 million km (43.5 million miles) and spending three months in orbit.

Geostationary orbit

A geostationary orbit, geostationary Earth orbit or geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) is a circular orbit35,786 kilometres (22,236mi) above the Earth's equator and following the direction of the Earth's rotation. An object in such an orbit has an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotational period (one sidereal day), and thus appears motionless, at a fixed position in the sky, to ground observers. Communications satellites and weather satellites are often placed in geostationary orbits, so that the satellite antennas (located on earth) which communicate with them do not have to rotate to track them, but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky where the satellites are located. Using this characteristic, ocean color satellites with visible and near-infrared light sensors (e.g. the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI)) can also be operated in geostationary orbit in order to monitor sensitive changes of ocean environments.

A geostationary orbit is a particular type of geosynchronous orbit, the distinction being that while an object in geosynchronous orbit returns to the same point in the sky at the same time each day, an object in geostationary orbit never leaves that position.

50 percent of which were launched by the United States.
Half of that 1071 are in Low-Earth Orbit, just a few hundred kilometers above the surface.
Some of the most notable of these include the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and many Earth observation satellites.
About a twentieth are in Medium-Earth Orbit, around 20,000 kilometers up, which are generally global positioning satellites used for navigation.
A small handful are in elliptical orbits, where their orbit brings them closer and further to the Earth.
The rest are in geostationary orbit, at an altitude of almost 36,000 kilometers.
If we could see these satellites from Earth's surface, they would appear to hang motionless in the sky. The fact that they remain over the geographic same area means they provide the perfect platform for telecommunications, broadcast or weather observations.
But there are many, many more artificial objects orbiting the Earth. In this collection of space debris we're talking spent boosters, dead satellites, and even misplaced gloves.
According to the United States Space Surveillance Network, there are more than 21,000 objects larger than 10 cm orbiting the Earth. Just a small fraction of these are operational satellites.
It's estimated there are a further 500,000 bits and pieces between 1 and 10 cm in size.
Near Earth orbit is so polluted with junk that the International Space Station is often moved to avoid impact with dangerous chunks of space debris.
Many of these objects are created through collisions, and some scientists are worried that future space travel might be too risky if we get too much junk orbiting the planet.
We might seal ourselves inside a shield of shrieking metal moving at 29,000 km/hour.
Looking outwards from our own orbit, at any time there are a handful of satellites orbiting the Moon.Right now, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and LunarAtmosphere and DustEnvironmentExplorer are in lunar orbit.
Further still, there's 1 spacecraft around Mercury, 1 at Venus, 3 visiting Mars and 1 orbiting Saturn.
There's a handful of spacecraft orbiting the Sun, although they're leading or trailing the Earth in its orbit.
And a few spacecraft are on trajectories to take them out of the Solar System entirely.
NASA's Voyager spacecraft, exited the Sun's heliosphere in 2013, and entered the interstellar medium.
Starting with Sputnik's lonely journey over 50 years ago, It's amazing to consider just how many satellites we've already launched into space in just a few decades.
With more launches all the time, space is becoming a busy place, with so many exciting missions to look forward to.

Over 6,600 satellites have been launched into space since the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957. 3,600 are currently in operation and launch frequencies are ever increasing to satisfy our global thirst for more communication, data and broadcast channels.
This video document some of the world’s most advanced commercial satellites from their design, construction and testing through to international transportation, space launch and operations. From SES headquarters in Luxembourg we control a large fleet of satellites, monitoring both their position and operation but also the data and broadcast channels they relay.

It’s estimated there are a further 500,000 bits and pieces between 1 and 10 cm in size.
It makes me wonder why the international space station, does not have any sealing hatches, what would happen if one of those half million pieces of debris smashes into it, with the space station hitting a piece of debri at 17,500 mph, I would expect a major disaster for NASA. But we hear nothing of any accidents the entire time its been up there.
According to the Index of Objects Launched into Outer Space maintained by United NationsOffice for Outer Space Affairs, there are currently 4,256 satellites currently orbiting the planet.
According to NASA, There are around 22,000 objects in orbit that are big enough to track,
Many are 'space junk' such as old rockets and abandoned satellites, It is estimated as many as 370,000 pieces of space junk are floating in Earth's orbit, travelling at speeds of up to 22,000 mph.
According to space dot com, there are more than 35,000 satellites now in orbit around Earth.
Nobody seems to have any clue how many we actually have orbiting the earth.
They also state, several hundred satellites can be spotted with the unaided eye. These are the satellites that are large enough (typically more than 20 feet in length) and low enough (100 to 400 miles above Earth) to be most readily seen as sunlight reflects off them.
Let me just repeat that last part, to be most readily seen a sunlight reflects off them.
Lets look at some images from the international space station.
Is it me, or am I missing something here, I can not see a single satellite reflecting off the sun, and I purposely used images taken from the I S S of the sun rising so that the light would not flood the camera, there are no satellites to see, there is nothing up there to reflect from the sunlight except the moon, you never ever see a satellite from the space station
Where are all the several hundred satellites that can be spotted with the unaided eye, lets take a look at the moon, here are some video feeds, and I would like to point out, there is nothing between us and the moon, not a single satellite, nothing to see here. No low earth orbiting satellites, and no geostationary satellites. You cannot see them becuase they are all more than likely, hanging from high altitude weather baloons.
With the amount of satellites in space, you should at least see tens of them in front of the moon, I understand photography and depth of field, but remember there are also satellites in high earth orbit that should be visible with the magnification of the telescope used to record these videos. But again, nothing is seen, if you have a recording of a satellite in front of the moon, by all means, send it to me at tdcgp@Yahoo.co.uk so that I can share your findings.

Sputnik was the first artificial Earth satellite. The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957. It was a 58 cm (23 in) diameter polished metal sphere, with four external radio antennas to broadcast radio pulses. It was visible all around the Earth and its radio pulses were detectable.
