A Summary of my project

My science project is about RADAR SAT a satellite that fly’s around the world taiking pictures of the earth to se if everything is alright. RADAR SAT can see lots of thing that you can’t see from a plane for example a hole in the ozone natural disasters and more!

my uncle Kenny James chief system engineer RADAR SAT-2

Interesting facts

The control system for RADAR SAT is at Ste. Hubert, Montreal. The images are developed by the system of communication.

 Clients can bye images from the companies or RADAR SAT. Examples or clients are Canadian ice serves or national defense department.

 

 

RADAR SAT is stuck up in space because of low gravity and momentum. There is just enough gravity to hold it in and not so much that it falls, but place SAT is always falling but because of low gravity only a bit, maybe a meter a month so RADAR SAT has its own system of population for putting it back to its right altitude.

RADAR SAT also has two enormous solar panels that are 1.5m of width and 15m of length.

RADAR SAT was launched by a rocket in California 1995 the rocket was maid by bowing who makes plains.


What does RADAR SAT do

 

RADAR SAT is like a surveillance camera it can se everything from a high place. RADAR SAT is really important for watching natural disasters like tsunamies, earthquakes, ice bergs or holes in the ozone. RADAR SAT can also se events made by humans like floods, fires or gas spills in the ocean.  If a boat is lost in the ocean or is fishing in a illegal place or a illegal amount of time RADAR SAT will se them and then they will be sued.

RADAR SAT can also watch forest cutters and see boat roots so they can make maps so that they wont hit any ice bergs and then they will sell it to the national ice department. One of the coolest things about RADAR SAT is that it can watch rise fields in Asia. The rise grows in the water so the farmers can se if they have a big bunch or not RADAR SAT can’t see thought the water so when it throes the radar waves the picture bounces of and they can se how high it is out of the water.

Characteristics of RADAR SAT

RADAR SAT is an active instrument that fly’s around the  earth in 100 minuets but only 28 of those minutes are developed.  RADAR SAT is always 800km from the earth, it can see 5km at a time to see big objects or 3km for the small. RADAR SAT took 10 years to make it was made to last 5 yeas but so far it has been 9 years after the launch.

RADAR SAT 2

Now the  RADAR SAT teem has constructed a  new satellite that is called RADAR SAT 2 it is almost the same thing except it is equipped with some new and upgraded stuff.  RADAR SAT 2  has a new system of G.P.S. and a system of command so now they can tell the exact high at all times. RADAR SAT is supposed to be launched summer 2005.

 

Conclusion

With out RADAR SAT would the world be the same?  With out RADAR SAT how would we know if There was a hole in the ozone or if There was a boat lost in the ocean?  RADAR SAT gives us a lot of information that we wouldn’t normally know. After reding my research project on RADAR SAT I hope you are more interested in satellite and that you take the time to de a research yourself.
