   Getting satellites into orbit is hard enough - they need to be hurled into space with enough energy to reach around 26,000km/h. But staying in orbit means avoiding losing energy to the Earth's atmospheric drag. While the official threshold of space is 100km above the Earth, the effects of the atmosphere can be detected much higher.

   From just 3 m above the surface, you can see the horizon 6.2 km apart. If you are 30 m high, then you can see up to 20 km far away. This is one of the reasons why the ancient cultures, at least since the sixth century BC, knew that the Earth was curved, not flat. They just needed good eyes.

   Jan 10, 2017 · On Earth, a good leap can clear over half a metre (1.6 feet) in a second. But hop with the same force elsewhere in the Solar System - someplace like the Moon, Mars, or even a comet - and all bets are off, due to the different masses of those worlds.

   How far can you see the Earth from a plane?

   • It's hard to see the curvature of the earth from an altitude of 7 miles or 37,000 ft (typical cruising altitude of a jetliner) but easy to see from 250 miles (typical altitude of the ISS). The line of sight from an aircraft at 37,000 feet = 235 miles. That's only about 3.4 degrees of the earth's surface.

   How can NASA get space data to the ground?

   • Fortunately, NASA has the experience and expertise to get space data to the ground. NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program enables this data exchange, whether it’s with astronauts aboard the International Space Station, rovers on Mars, or the Artemis missions to the Moon.

   How far away is the Earth from the ISS?

   • That's only about 3.4 degrees of the earth's surface. From the ISS at 250 miles, the line of sight is 1,435 miles, which covers about 19.8 degrees of the earth's surface - much easier to see the curve from this altitude. Most people don't realize how large the earth is compared to the altitude of a passenger aircraft.

   Oct 6, 2020 · Communications don’t occur instantaneously. They’re bound by a universal speed limit: the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second. For spacecraft close to Earth, this time delay — or communications latency — is almost negligible. However, farther from Earth, latency can become a challenge.
