Guys, have anybody thought about why satellites are sent to space?
Those who say that satellites are sent to space for weather forecasting, maintaining the mobile bond and the internet connection and other space exploration research are right. But there is other stuff that makes people launch satellites in space.

I guess the article mentioned all possible reasons why people launch satellites to space. I'm interested in environmental satellites because they help scientists monitor large land areas and obtain information about different animal or plant species. I always wonder how engineers manage to build such cameras. Once I was busy reading about satellite imagery and its manufacturers and found out about Dragonfly Aerospace. You'll be surprised, but it's a South-African company that develops various imagers for cubesats and microsats. Have someone ever heard about them?
