[True or False] 1 True [Statement] 
The lowest Earth-observing satellites take about 90 minutes to travel around the Earth. Satellites orbiting around the Earth have the minimum speed (typically 17,000 mph) needed to stay in orbit and not impact the Earth. The satellites orbit without any propulsion. They are constantly pulled down by the Earth's gravity, but because of their high speed along the orbit (at a right angle to gravity), satellites do not hit the Earth. Their inertia keeps them moving and the force of Earth's gravity bends their path around the Earth.
