Aryabhata in 1975
Aryabhatta
WESTAR
Insat 1a
Geostationary satellite
GOES was first launched on June 16,1978
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
The height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles).
Aryabhata was India's first satellite.
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
No. A geostationary satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, which means not moving. This is a big part of the reason why it is referred to as a geo'stationary' satellite.
It should be possible to have the perfectly geostationary satellites. But it is not possible. Perfectly geostationary satellite can not be made. Such satellite is pulled away by other objects like moon, sun and other planets from different directions. This force changes the velocity of the satellites.
Aryabhatta was the first scientific satellite send by India
