The Neo-Babylonian Empire was a period of Mesopotamian history which began in 626 BC and ended in 539 BC. During the preceding three centuries, Babylonia had been ruled by their fellow Akkadian speakers and northern neighbours, Assyria.
In order for a satellite to successfully orbit the Earth, it must travel a horizontal distance of 8000 meters before falling a vertical distance of 5 meters. A horizontally launched projectile falls a vertical distance of 5 meters in its first second of motion.
Best Answer: Depends on the satellite (and the right phrasing is how MANY miles are satellites above the Earth). Low Earth Orbit satellites are up to about 2000 km (Americans still use miles, so you will have to do your own conversion). All human orbital spaceflights have been here, the ISS orbits here. Medium Earth Orbits are from 2000 km to about 35800 km.
