Glossary term: कृत्रिम उपग्रह
Description: कृत्रिम उपग्रह एक मानव निर्मित उपकरण है जिसे पृथ्वी या अन्य सौर मंडल की वस्तुओं की परिक्रमा करने के लिए अंतरिक्ष में भेजा जाता है, जहां गुरुत्वाकर्षण इसे कक्षा में रखता है। कृत्रिम उपग्रहों को विभिन्न प्रकार के कार्यों को करने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया जा सकता है, जिसमें मौसम विज्ञानियों को मौसम की भविष्यवाणी करने में मदद करने के लिए पृथ्वी की हवाई तस्वीरें लेना, या खगोलीय पिंडों और दूर की आकाशगंगाओं की तस्वीरें लेना शामिल है, जिससे वैज्ञानिकों को ब्रह्मांडीय प्रणाली को बेहतर ढंग से समझने में मदद मिलती है। कृत्रिम उपग्रहों का उपयोग मुख्य रूप से विश्वव्यापी संचार और किसी के स्थान का पता लगाने के लिए भी किया जाता है, जैसे ग्लोबल पोजिशनिंग सिस्टम (जीपीएस)। पहला कृत्रिम उपग्रह १९५७ में सोवियत संघ द्वारा लॉन्च किया गया था और इसे स्पटनिक १ कहा गया था।
