A satellite in an equatorial orbit flies along the plane of the Earth's equator. If an orbit does not lie at an equatorial orbit, then it will not remain at a fixed state.

What is satellite longitude in satellite communication?
satellite is satellite
What is the Round Trip time of a RF signal for GEO satellites?
the speed of light = 299792458 m / sGEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) = 35863000 m above the Earth's surfaceround trip time = 2*(35863000)/299792458 =0.239 sthe time needed for an RF signal to reach a GEO satellite and gets retransmitted back to a ground station on earth is approximately 240 milliseconds(assuming zero signal propagation/processing time in the satellite and equatorial ground station location with the same longitude as the satellite slot)
Different types of satellite?
Answer: 1.communication satellite 2.navigational satellite 3.weather satellite 4.millitary satellite 5.scientific satellite 6.satellite launches. It composed of 6 satellites...........i hope.....my answer can help you.....
What is the satellite that always stays over one spot on Earth?
A "geo-synchronous" orbit is one in which a satellite orbits in exactly 23 hours 56 minutes, the same rate at which the Earth spins. So while the satellite is moving and the Earth is moving, they are moving together at the same angular speed. This only works for equatorial orbits.
First Indian satellite in geostationary satellite was?

Is IRS a polar satellite or equatorial satellite?
It is polar orbiting.
Which type of satellite has the largest footprint?
equatorial orbit
How far must a geostationary communication satellite orbit?
Geo-stationary communication satellites are 35,768 Km far from earth surface at an equatorial latitiude.
How does a satellite stay in one place?
For a satellite to stay in one place over the earth, the satellite must be going in orbit in the same direction that the earth spins. The satellite must also travel at the same pace/speed as the earth spins to give us the 24-hour day that we as people witness. To apparently stay in one place it must be in a synchronous orbit. For the earth this is about 24,000 miles altitude. It must also be an equatorial satellite.
What is a sentence with equatorial in it?
There are equatorial lines of latitude.
A spy satellite makes 5.0 complete revolutions around the Earth in 24 hours What is the circular velocity along the equator?
And here ... the way you were going ... we thought you were going to ask somethingreally astronomical, like "What is the satellite's altitude above the earth's surface ?"OK. To answer the question you actually did ask, we think we have to assume that yoursatellite is in an equatorial orbit. If its orbit is inclined to the equator, then the componentof its velocity along the equator could be sinusoidal ... we're not sure, and don't feel likeputting that much effort into it right now. (It won't make any difference anyway.)If it makes 5.0 complete revolutions in 24 hours, then . . .-- if the earth is rotating in the same direction, then the satellite's "ground speed" is4 x (equatorial circumference) / 24 = 4,150 miles per hour.-- if the earth is rotating in the opposite direction, then the satellite's "ground speed" is6 x (equatorial circumference) / 24 = 6,225 miles per hour.
