  1. advantages: increase in communication capacity at a comparatively low cost. Weather, terrain mapping, astronomy, etc....

    there are not many disadvantages of an artificial satellite. still i could figure out some of them

    Disadvantages: Pollution of the space by the debris, even though the maintenance cost of the sat is low the launching cost is extremely high. Frequency used by satellite may interfere with that at the ground stations(4/6GHz band).


  2. Artificial satellites are man-made objects placed into Earth's orbit.  They are currently used to aid in communications, navigation, observation (spying), and observation (astronomy and meteorlogical), and include a manned space station, and lots of old junk.  

    The advantages of placing these objects in space is that it gives us a vantage point beyond our horizon;  which lets us see and report things all around the globe in real time.  Space based orbiting objects are also above most of our atmosphere, giving them a much clearer view of space then is available at the surface.  Soon we will be developing spacebased storage and assembly facilities, which will allow us to work in space without having to relaunch and discard all equipment on every single mission.

  3. Hi, sorry to sound dumb, but a bit more info would help, artificial satellites would serve no purpose except to confuse an enemy into thinking you have more than you really do.
