In the geostationary orbits, the angular speed of the satellite will be the same as that of the earth. Hence the satellite will be at the same location above our head all the time, if it is installed so. If three such geostationary satellites each above Atlantic, Pacific and Indian ocean inclined at angle 120 degree from one another are installed, then the whole world will be connected round the clock from nook and corner.

What are the two main types of satellite orbits?
geostationary andGeosynchronous satellites
What is the device that orbits the Earth and collects weather data?
Geostationary satellite.
What has the author E M Soop written?
E. M. Soop has written: 'Handbook of geostationary orbits' -- subject(s): Artificial satellites, Control systems, Data processing, Geostationary satellites, Orbits, PEPSOC
What type of satellite orbits the earth at 22300 miles above the earth?
Geostationary
Are geostationary orbit and equatorial orbit same?
No. Geostationary orbits are equatorial, but equatorial orbits are not necessarily geostationary. To be geostationary, the orbit needs to be equatorial, circular and at the altitude such that one orbit takes one sidereal day (approximately 24 hours 3 minutes 56 seconds. ) An equatorial orbit need only be located above the equator, may have any period and need not be circular.
How far above the earth is geostationary orbit?
Geostationary satellites are in an orbit that's 22,282 mi (35,786 km) above the surface of the Earth. For more on Geostationary satellite orbits, visit http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
Why communication satellites are stationed geostationary orbits?
the communication satellites take 24 hours to complete their one revolution around the earthso the orbit of revolving satellite is called geostationary orbit.
What are geostationary orbits?
an orbit that is about 36000km above the Earth's surface and in which a satellite is above a fixed spot on the equator.
What is the main characteristic of a geostationary satellite's footprint?
its location
What devices need satellites in geostationary orbits?
Satellite terminals with fixed antennas, such as the TV dish on the garage or the corner of the house.
What satellite orbits around the earth and takes the same time it takes for the earth to rotate on its axis?
Only artificial, geostationary satellites.
Is the Hubble telescope a geostationary satellite?
No, the HST orbits at 570 km above Earth (and not 36,000 km as the geostationary satellites do). It flies round Earth (= one orbit) in 97 minutes, the speed is about 28,000 kilometers per hour.
