      Astrologists are the people that can read the future. They probably don’t need satellites.

      Physicists find satellites very useful. Recently the ESA PLANCK satellite has released results of its mission and it tells us about the exact composition of the universe.

      Satellites are very useful for Astronomers and Physicists. They are used for mapping the universe, communications, navigation etc…

      Astrologists are a not science based.

      Satellites are really useful to life on Earth. Physicists love them. As do astronomers. Astrologists don’t really use them – they just make up things as they go along 🙂

      For sure astronomers (not astrologers) rely on satellites for help. The Hubble space telescope is a great example of this. Hubble revealed incredible things to us over the last couple of decades. It has shown us stars being born and dying. It has showed us the very edge of the observable universe and the oldest galaxies known to exist, and sooo much more.
      Physicists too rely on data from satellites. Examples such as the Planck satellite, WMAP, and COBE have helped cosmologists constrain their models about the formation and evolution of the Universe. Other satellites have helped confirm various aspects of Einstein’s theory of relativity such as ‘Frame Dragging’, etc. I am currently working on a satellite called SPICA. This SPICA space telescope will help astronomers and cosmologists in their work by providing the most accurate astronomical and cosmological data to date.
