The orbit of a satellite is determined based on the functions that the satellite needs to perform.
A communications satellite.s purpose is to make communications easier. If it were in a very low orbit, the satellite would pass quickly overhead and you would only have a couple of moments to talk.
A photo satellite needs to have a low orbit, to be close enough to take good pictures. Photo satellites are often in polar orbits to allow them to cover the entire globe rather than the same parts over and over again.
The first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth was a Soviet satellite named Sputnik I. It was launched by the USSR on October 4, 1957, followed by Sputnik 2 in November.
The first man made object to be launched into orbit successfully.
First Soviet SatelliteIt was called the 'Sputnik' and was put into orbit on October 4th, 1957. The timing was 'tweaked' to mark the 40th anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1917.
That would be "revolution", not "rotation". Let's assume you need a certain speed for a circular orbit. If the satellite (in this case) has a bit less speed, it will get closer and closer to the Earth, during half of its orbit. While doing this, its speed will increase; during the other half of its orbit, this speed will make it go away from the Earth again. The final result is that it moves around the Earth in an ellipse. This assumes, of course, that it doesn't approach the Earth too much. If it gets too close, it will be slowed down by the atmosphere, and eventually crash to Earth.

As a noun: The rocket placed the satellite into a high Earth orbit. As a verb: The satellite had to travel very fast to orbit the Earth.
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
Rockets are used as engines to accelerate the satellite to a speed fast enough to get it in orbit.

The orbit of a satellite around the Earth is called a "geocentric orbit."
The repetitivity and revisit of satellite orbit refers to the time elapsed between observations of the same point on earth by a satellite. It usually depends with the target location, the orbit of the satellite and the swath of the sensor.
YES As height increases, speed of satellite decreases.
The very first satellite put into orbit was the Russian satellite Sputnik put into orbit on October 4th, 1957.
By definition planets orbit a star and satellites orbit a planet. Therefore there are no satellite planets.
The plane of a satellite's orbit must include the center of the earth.
In 2005 a satellite went into orbit around Venus.
You give velocity to a satellite through rockets. The rockets use some powerful fuel - for example, a mix of hydrogen and oxygen - to push them into orbit.
