This article analyzes the advantages and limitations of astronomical observations conducted through artificial satellites. It highlights the benefits of space-based telescopes, including freedom from atmospheric distortion, access to the full electromagnetic spectrum, continuous monitoring, and multi-wavelength analysis. The article also discusses limitations such as high cost, limited repairability, size constraints, data transmission challenges, satellite lifespan, and space debris. The study concludes that artificial satellites play a crucial yet complementary role alongside ground-based observatories in the advancement of modern astronomy.
