Miranda . Uranus V . ... The resolution at which the larger satellites were photographed was around 2 to 3 kilometers (1.2 to 1.9 miles). ... This high-resolution image of Miranda was acquired by Voyager 2 on January 24, 1986, when the spacecraft was 36,250 kilometers (22,500 miles) from the Uranian moon. ... This Voyager 2 image of Miranda was taken January 24, l986, from a distance of about 31,000 kilometers (19,000 miles), shortly before the spacecraft's closest approach to the Uranian moon. ...

Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. A low altitude polar orbit is widely used for monitoring the Earth because each day, as the Earth rotates below it, the entire surface is covered. ... A different choice was made for MAGSAT, orbited 1979-80 to survey the Earth's own magnetic field near its surface. ...
