  2. Satellite (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_(biology)

    Satellite-like nucleic acids resemble satellite nucleic acids, in that they replicate with the aid of helper viruses. However they differ in that they can encode functions that can contribute to the success of their helper viruses; while they are sometimes considered to be genomic elements of their helper viruses, they are not always found ...

  5. Positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positioning_system

    A local positioning system (LPS) is a navigation system that provides location information in all weather, anywhere within the coverage of the network, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to three or more signaling beacons of which the exact position on Earth is known.

  6. Satellite geolocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_geolocation

    For example, while a satellite translation frequency is known to within a few kHz, accurate geolocation requires frequency measurement accuracies of single mHz. In order to determine the position of signal source, a second set of measurements is required.

    True color image of the Earth from space. This image is a composite image collected over 16 days by the MODIS sensor on NASA’s Terra satellite. NASA Earth science satellite fleet as of September 2020, planned through 2023. Earth observation satellite missions developed by the ESA as of 2019.

  8. Geostationary orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit

    The first satellite placed in a geostationary orbit was Syncom 3, which was launched by a Delta D rocket in 1964. [14] With its increased bandwidth, this satellite was able to transmit live coverage of the Summer Olympics from Japan to America. Geostationary orbits have been in common use ever since, in particular for satellite television. [10]

  9. Myosatellite cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosatellite_cell

    Typically, satellite cell content is expressed per muscle fiber or as a percentage of total nuclear content, the sum of satellite cell nuclei and myonuclei. While the adaptive response to exercise largely varies on an individual basis on factors such as genetics, age, diet, acclimatization to exercise, and exercise volume, human studies have ...
