How does NASA use Satellites Today

Help scientists study Earth and space Using information on clouds, oceans, lands amd ice Measure ozones in the atmosphere such as ozones, carbon dioxides, and amount of energy the Earth absorbs and emits Monitor wildfires and their smoke

Helps scientists study the climate and weather Helps farmers know what crops to plant Helps public officials track disease and famine Helps emergency workers respond to natural disasters

 Satelittes that face towards space watch for dangerous rays coming from the sun explore asteroids and comets, the history of stars, and the origin of planets. Some satellites fly near or orbit other planets look for evidence of water on Mars or capture close-up pictures of Saturn's rings

Law Relating to Satellites

Outer Space Treaty 1967 Launching states and states from whose territory satellites are launched are internationally liable for damage caused to other Treaty parties or their citizens whether the damage is caused on Earth, in airspace, or in outer space. Art 7 Liability Convention 1972 It establishes an onerous liability regime for satellite launching states.
