A [[Satellite]] is a natural or an artificial body in orbit around a [[world]].
 +
* A [[Satellite World]] is a satellite that has taken on socioeconomic importance, usually as a [[mainworld]].

| Artificial Satellites are [[sophont]]-made objects that occupy [[orbit]]s around a world. Many sophont societies can achieve successful satellite launch and orbital launch by the [[TL:4-6]] [[tech epoch]]. The first satellites tend to be science or spy satellites (...high priority military satellites), but by [[TL:7-9]] they occupy every possible niche and function from worldwide communication networks to navigational aid systems.
