You may even add\nthe additional constraint that the orbit has to be closed orbit (i.e.\nnot an interplanetary orbit).\nThe Moon orbits the Earth, therefore it is an Earth orbiting satellite.\nThe ISS orbits the Earth, therefore it is also an Earth orbiting\nsatellite.\n\nThe point is that being a satellite has nothing to do whether the\nobject is a spacecraft or not. Surely, the ISS is also a spacecraft,\nsince it is a vehicle designed for human spaceflight.\n\n73\nAlex OZ9AEC\n", "attachments": [] }
