Launching satellite into orbit

Launching a satellite into orbit involves sending a spacecraft from Earth's surface into space using a rocket. During liftoff, the rocket's engines ignite, generating immense thrust to overcome Earth's gravitational pull. As the rocket ascends, it gradually sheds stages to reduce weight and achieve higher speeds. Once the desired velocity is reached, the satellite is released into orbit, where it achieves a delicate balance between gravity's pull and its forward momentum. This orbit allows the satellite to circle the Earth at a constant altitude and speed, enabling it to perform various functions such as communication, weather monitoring, scientific research, and navigation.
