Commercial satellites are like super spy planes that help armies fight battles from way up high.
Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek, but instead of just peeking around the corner, you have a friend flying above with a camera that can see everything, even through clouds! That’s what commercial satellites do in wars. They take pictures, send messages, and sometimes even guide missiles to their targets.
Like having a robot friend everywhere
Most people know about space shuttles and astronauts, but now regular companies build satellites, like how toy stores make toys. These satellites are used by armies too, they can see where enemies are hiding, track vehicles moving on roads, or even help guide rockets to hit the right spot.
A picture is worth a thousand soldiers
Sometimes, knowing what’s going on from above can save lives or win battles. It's like having a robot friend watching over you in a game, they can tell you where your opponent is hiding and help you win faster!
