What keeps a satellite in orbit? Whether it is accessing GPS data or global communications, satellites play an integral role in the servicing of the modern world. This animated film, voiced by Johnny Ball, looks at how weâre able to take advantage of the Earthâs gravity to position Satellites in orbit.
Best Answer: The same way all other moons and satellites stay in orbit-thanks to the balance between gravity and the moon's own inertia. Gravity tries to pull the moons to the planet, but their inertia tries to keep them going in a straight line. The result is that the moons neither fall to the planet, nor fly off.
