A satellite is something that accompanies the main

The satellite state, satellite transmission, satellite antenna, satellite column, and even a satellite site. This common definition is used often and practically by all who talk about politics, technology and technology. At the same time, the original meaning of it is not known to everyone, but it seems that it means something ultramodern, having to do with computers, communications, television or mechanics. Nevertheless, the very word satelles (or derived from it in the genitive case of satellitis) was used by the ancient Romans.

A companion of ancient Roman nobles and planets

The nobles of Rome had constant companions, watching their safety. Actually, they and today's powerful people have this, and they are called in different ways. Some top-level figures patriotically use the Russian word "bodyguard". Others, who are pro-Western, prefer something overseas, like "security" or "bodyguard." So, the Roman satellite is a guard-bodyguard.

When it turned out that the Moon revolves around the Earth, and not vice versa, it was also called in science in Latin in Latin. As long as the satellite of our planet was one, and at the same time natural, astronomers also called it a satellite. Tradition was broken by our "companion", which entered into the dictionaries of the languages of the whole world. However, soon the Americans suddenly realized and after launching their own space orbiter they called it "satellite", and astronauts called astronauts. Well, master-master. Who launches, he calls as he wants.

More satellite dishes are sometimes called satellite. Such terminology is a direct consequence of translation from English.

Scientists and engineers with their satellites

The study of the cosmic structure of the universe gave birth to many technical ideas. Planetary gear is a kinematic system consisting of gears, the smaller of which rotate not only around its own axis, but wrap around the central gear. The meaning of the word satellite, adopted in mechanics, is the name of such gears. They are used in a variety of devices, from wristwatches to complex construction machines and spacecraft.

But not only mechanics, but also physicists-opticians also use this term. In their understanding, the satellite is part of the spectral sweep, which, according to the wave theory, represents the harmonic of the brighter strip.

Political satellites

Each strong country has its own geopolitical interests, which the allies are helping to observe. True, there are always opponents. For example, in Nazi Germany, Italy, Spain, Romania, Japan, Hungary and several other countries that did not exert special influence on the fate of Hitlerism were on the list of friendly states. During the Second World War, each of them was called offensive word "satellite". This not very flattering definition suggests that the government does not have its own foreign policy, and it follows blindly the course imposed by the "big brother". Something similar is happening in some countries today, while imitation and submission to an imaginary ally is diligently issued for the desire for independence, called "genuine".

Satellites on the Internet

But programmers have their own opinion about what a satellite is. This is a small site, whose purpose is to promote the main media project. It has a lot of links that lead the visitor "where necessary" and thereby increase traffic. When you go to the satellite site, you can often get information about the cost of advertising services. The content is not large, and often the materials borrowed from other sources are used to fill in a few pages. To avoid penalties, the texts are recycled, for which sometimes the work of hired rewriters or copywriters is used.
