if the speed decreases the size of the orbit decreases and it'll eventually fall into the sun ?BvU said:Hi Rohan,
Escape velocity is a speed, not a change in speed...
You didn't use the

What would happen if the satellite speed would be reduced ?
The speed of a satellite can change due to several factors, including changes in altitude, gravitational pulls from other celestial bodies, and propulsion from its own thrusters.
A change in speed can have a significant effect on a satellite's orbit. If the speed increases, the satellite's orbit will become wider and higher, while a decrease in speed will cause the orbit to become narrower and lower.
Yes, a satellite's speed can change without external forces through the use of its own thrusters. This is commonly done to adjust the satellite's orbit or to maintain its speed as it experiences drag from the Earth's atmosphere.
The speed of a satellite does not directly affect its communication capabilities. However, a change in speed can alter the satellite's orbit, which can affect the strength and clarity of its signal. A higher orbit can also increase the time it takes for a signal to reach the satellite, causing a delay in communication.
A change in speed can affect a satellite's lifespan in different ways. If the speed increases significantly, the satellite may experience higher levels of atmospheric drag, causing it to lose altitude and eventually re-enter the Earth's atmosphere. Conversely, a decrease in speed can prolong a satellite's lifespan by reducing atmospheric drag. However, changes in speed can also put additional stress on a satellite's components, potentially shortening its overall lifespan.
