                slow it down. However, it does need source of energy to power its electronic circuitry, so
                satellite has large solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity.  In addition, it is
                necessary  for satellite to  stay in exactly right position so that its antennae  face radio stations

                correct orbit,  high  above Earth.
