Detailed explanation-2: -A satellite or artificial satellite is an object intentionally placed into orbit in outer space. Satellites have a variety of uses, including communication relay, weather forecasting, navigation (GPS), broadcasting, scientific research, and Earth observation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Short Answer: We launch things into space by putting them on rockets with enough fuel-called propellant-to boost them above most of Earth’s atmosphere. Once a rocket reaches the right distance from Earth, it releases the satellite or spacecraft.
