I believe that is around 90 minutes or about an hour and a half. I'm pretty sure of that.

How do satellites move in orbit?
Satellite orbit the Earth at different altitudes. A good overview of Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit and Geostationary Orbit can be found here: http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
Why does a geosynchronous satellite not trace a path over the surface of Earth?
A geostationary orbit achieved by being in a location where the satellite's orbital period is 24 hours. This means the satellite is about 36,000 km (22,000 miles) above the Earth's surface. All orbits must therefore be over the equator. Every orbit around the earth looks like a circular (or elliptical) ring whose center (or one foci) is at the center of gravity of the Earth. An orbit exactly above the equator is one such orbit, but any orbit can be tilted as long as the center (or focus) stays at the Earth's center and the whole orbit is flat like a disk. On various NASA maps this makes the orbit look like a sinewave, but on a globe it stays a flat circle (or ellipse). On "Star Trek" I have seen errors a number of times on "Geostationary orbit over the North Pole", well you can't do that. Likewise, a "Lunar-stationary orbit" is impossible for a spacecraft, since Earth itself is already IN THE STATIONARY ORBIT POSITION! Remember that a geostationary orbit looks like it is always over the same spot on the Earth (or other body). If you were on the Moon, the Earth would be in the same position in the sky at all times.
How long does it take to build a satellite?
The time it takes to put together a satellite varies on the size and structure of the satellite. A simple satellite could be put together in a couple of months, where a large science mission could take ten or more years.
What Keeps a Satellite In Space?
Once a satellite is launched into orbit, the force of gravity tends to pull it toward the Earth. But by moving fast enough, it falls in a curved path and circles the Earth. So orbit is something like a controlled fall. If a satellite does not move fast enough, it will eventually spiral closer to the Earth and burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. The same balance of gravity and speed keeps the moon and the International Space Station in orbit.

Why is it important for satellites to be outside the earths atmosphere?
Satellites need to be out of the earth's atmosphere or the gravity would make them fall to the ground. In space, the satellites are also able to orbit the earth effortlessly because they have less weight.
How long would a communication satellite take orbit earth?
5 hours
How long does it take a satellite in low earth orbit to circle the entire planet?
About an hour.
What was the name of the satellite that was the first satellite to orbit earth and the craft circled earth every 95 minutes at almost 2000 miles per hour until three months later it fell from the sky?
Sputnik was the first satellite to orbit the Earth. It was Russian and transmitted a radio signal. It is possible that a earlier satellite could be in orbit, without any communications this would be the same as a cannon shell etc. So long as an object can reach orbit it will constantly drop towards the planet and because the planet is round the object will rotate around being pulled by gravity
The circumference of the orbit of a satellite is 260400km the satellite is travelling at 10850km how long does the satellite take to complete one orbit?
24 hours
How long does it take for the Earth to complete a quarter of an orbit round the Sun?
3 MONTHS

What satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
Its called a geostationary satellite. Its quite far out, meaning its 24 hour orbit is quite long when compared with satellites closer in to earth. Is appears stationary in our skies, in the same spot throughout its orbit. This makes it a lot easier to track, a fixed dish can be used.
What advantages does a weather satellite in geostationary orbit have over a weather satellite in polar orbit?
A satellite in Geosychronous Earth Orbit (GEO) orbits the Earth in the same time period that the Earth spins, so the satellite appears to be stationary over one spot above the Earth's equator. It's always looking down at the same area of the Earth. A satellite in a polar orbit will pass quickly over any one spot on Earth and keep going. It can't watch the same area for a long period. Depending on the altitude of the orbit, it may take days or weeks to pass over the same area again. However, polar orbits are typically much lower, permitting a much higher resolution image. This is very important for photo imagery, but not so much for weather.
Can you place an artificial setellite in any desired orbit or in perticular orbit around earth?
You can put it in any orbit you like, as long as the orbit follows a few simple rules: -- It must be elliptical. (A circle is an ellipse too.) -- One focus of the ellipse, or the center of a circular orbit, must be the center of the earth. -- No part of the orbit can dip into the atmosphere; if it does, then your artificial satellite and its orbit won't last long.
How long does it take earth satellite 42250km from earth take to orbit once?
this is if it is not a geostationary orbit, in which case it is always in the same place relative to earth. imagine a circle of radius 42250km+radius of earth(6,356km). it's perimeter is 2 x pi x 48606km = satellite's journey. then think of a really fast speed, which is the speed the satellite is moving at. divide the distance by speed and you have the time of one orbit However, by the height being 42250 , it makes me think the satellite is a geostationary satellite and so it would take 24 hours moving at approximately 12725 kmph does that answer your question?
