Let's take a look at the temperature vs altitude chart:Temperature (°C) vs altitude (km) based on the ISA model (1976). At first look, it seems that asking 'Why does temperature decrease with higher altitude' wouldn't be precise. As the graph shows, temperature either decreases, ...
According to the national fifteen-year space program implemented by the National Space Program Office (NSPO), a low-earth orbit (LEO) experimental satellite, ROCSAT-1, is scheduled to launch at the end of 1998. The satellite will orbit the Earth at an altitude of 600 km with an inclinatio...
