Satellite internet sounds futuristic, but it comes with its own set of benefits and challenges you should know about.

Satellites: Who Owns Them, and What Do They Do?

Thousands of satellites orbit Earth. They help with everything from GPS and weather tracking to internet and scientific research. But who controls most of these space machines? Governments and companies both have big fleets up there, and each has its own reasons for launching satellites. Understanding this helps us see how space tech affects us daily and why keeping space clean from debris is a growing concern.
