San Jose Tech Museum, Lockheed Martin, Satellites, Orbits, Build a Satellite ... Remote-sensing satellites, like the one shown on the left, study Earth's surface. From 300 miles (480 km) up, this satellite uses powerful cameras to scan the planet. The satellite then sends back valuable data about global environments.
