Can anyone help with this satellite question?

In summary, the conversation involved finding parameters for an equation from a given link for a satellite at a specific height range of 100km to 300km using the IRI for temperature and IGRF for magnetic fields. The context of the question was for schoolwork and the user was advised to repost in the appropriate section with a descriptive thread title and a filled out template. The thread was then locked.

I must find parameters for equation [1] in this link http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgra.50543/pdf
for satelite in height from 100km until 300km. Have to use IRI and IGRF. Any help with answer?
Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Is this for schoolwork? What is the context of the question?

Thank you! :)
Yes is a question in my exersice.
The question ask to find the parameters for the equation [1] from the link,using IRI to find temperatures and IGRF to find magnetics fields

Oh, and please be sure to use a very descriptive thread title when you repost. The title should reflect the question being asked in the thread. :smile:
 

1. What is a satellite?

A satellite is an artificial object that is placed into orbit around a celestial body, such as a planet or moon. Satellites are used for a variety of purposes, including communication, navigation, and scientific research.

2. How do satellites stay in orbit?

Satellites stay in orbit due to the balance between the gravitational pull of the celestial body they are orbiting and their own momentum. The speed and distance of the satellite's orbit are carefully calculated to maintain this balance.

3. Why are satellites important?

Satellites play a crucial role in modern society. They enable communication, weather forecasting, navigation, and scientific research. They also provide valuable data for understanding our planet and the universe.

4. How are satellites launched into space?

Satellites are launched into space using rockets. These rockets provide the necessary thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and push the satellite into orbit. The type of rocket used depends on the size and weight of the satellite and its desired orbit.

5. What are the potential risks of satellites?

Satellites can pose a risk if they collide with other objects in space, such as other satellites or debris. This can cause damage to the satellite or other objects and create more debris, which can be dangerous for future launches. Additionally, satellites can contribute to light pollution and the accumulation of space junk in Earth's orbit.
