Footnotes
1
Any satellite (or a probe) which travels to a distance of 100,000 km or more from the earth’s surface is known to have entered the region which is normally depicted as deep space. This is the region beyond the gravitational influence of Earth encompassing interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic space. As per astronomical definition, this region is any region of outer space beyond the system of the Earth and Moon. However, when put in the context of distance, the Earth’s Moon could be viewed to be in the deep space. Refer [7]
