To day satellite are used in a wide variety of applications including direct broadcast television, wireless cable, cellular telephone, video tele-conferencing. Special sports programmes like cricket, news, and movie broadcasts have been telecast because of satellites. Recently artificial satellites have also been launched to photograph the moon.
