In this chapter, we will be learning about space technology. We will start by understanding satellites and their orbits. We will learn about the different types of satellite orbits and how they are used. We will also study the position of apogee and perigee in an elliptical orbit using diagrams.
Next, we will explore the Global Positioning System (GPS). We will learn what GPS is and how it works. We will also learn how to apply the GPS coordinate system for navigation purposes. This will help us understand how GPS is used in our everyday lives for finding directions and locating places.
