India aims to launch an Earth-imaging satellite toward geosynchronous orbit today (Sept. 3) —something it has never done successfully — and you can watch the action live.

Earth’s geosynchronous orbit (GEO) holds some of the most valuable satellites that carry out tasks for phones, television, and radio, as well as weather and environmental monitoring. As new research ...

Applause broke across across the launch control room at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre as ISRO's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) lifted into the sky carrying India’s newest eye from the ...

The OEO satellite promises a geosynchronous orbit around the equator, low latency, and a drastic cut in costs—using readily available technology. Thousands of satellites have been deployed during ...

It's been decades since humanity first sent a satellite into orbit, and during all this time we kind of become experts at it. What we still haven't mastered yet is extending the life of these ...
