Knowledge of Kepler's laws would prove most useful for putting a communications satellite in Earth orbit.
Kepler's laws describe the motion of planets around the sun and can be applied to the motion of satellites in orbit around Earth. Specifically, they can help in understanding the orbits and predicting the paths of satellites, which is crucial for successful satellite deployment and operation.
