What kind of an orbit is use by direct tv satellites?
Geosynchronous Orbit
What is a gps satellite's orbit type?
Geosynchronous
A satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
That is called a geosynchronous orbit.
What is an orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the Earth's rotation?
Geosynchronous orbit.
Does dbs also known as direct broadcast satellite such as directv and dishtv orbit in a geosynchronous orbit?
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
A satellite in geosynchronous orbit is always directly above the?
In geosynchronous orbit, it's always somewhere over the same meridian of longitude.In geostationary orbit, it's always over the same point on the equator.
What is a geosynchronous orbit?
In a geosynchronous orbit, a satellite orbits Earth at the same rate as Earth rotates and thus stays over the same place on Earth all the time.
What are the orbital communications satellites are placed in called?
Geosynchronous orbit? or Low Earth Orbit?
Are any man made satellites stationary?
Yes.It is called geosynchronous orbit where the satellite speed equals the rotation of earth but is far enough so gravity doesn't effect its orbit immediately.Weather satellites are geosynchronous as are communication, broadcast (DirecTv and Dish, to name a few), spy, scientific.http://www.spacetoday.org/Satellites/SatBytes/SatOrbits.html
What is a geo synchronus satellite?
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
What distances from earth equate to multiples of geosynchronous orbit?
It appears that geosynchronous orbit (orbit that appears stationary from earth's surface) is more or less equal to the circumference of the earth (around 27,000 miles). The moon which orbits the earth reaches the same point every 29 or so days. So it would appear that the moon is around 29 times the distance for geosynchronous orbit or about 783,000 miles.
What types of satellites are used to provide satellite Internet access?
A: Low Earth orbit, B: Medium Earth orbit, & D: Geosynchronous orbit.
