A sun-synchronous orbit is one that places a satellite over a given location at the same mean solar time on successive orbits. This is accomplished by tuning the orbital altitude and inclination.
The object is to have the same solar illumination angle at each approach, with the same orbital motion (ascending, descending). This is useful for surface observations, as with weather or spy satellites.
What else can I help you with?
Large solid approximately spherical masses the most famous of which is earth which revolve around the Sun?
This would be the definition of a "planet", which are technically "satellites" of the Sun.
What are the name of satellites of planet Mercury?
There are no known satellites of Mercury.
How do satellites triangulate?
Triangulation of satellites requires three satellites that bank of one another simultaneously.
Are moons satellites?
Yes but they are called natural satellites
Are there satellites on the moon?
CORRECT ANSWER:No.
What are the names of the active satellites on the A Train constellation?
The names of the active satellites on the A Train constellation are GCOM-W1, Aqua, CloudSat, Calipso and Aura. They are Earth observation satellites in sun synchronous orbit.
Are the planets are satellites of the sun?
Yes, the planets can be described as being satellites of the sun.
Are planets satellites of the sun?
Yes, the planets can be described as being satellites of the sun.
What are natural satellites called that orbit the sun?
no satellites rotate around the sun!
How do satellites produce energy?
satellites produce energy by the sun
What is the name of the orbit that allows satellites to orbit the earth but yet appear stationary?
The Earth orbit in which satellites appear to be stationary is called the, "Geostationary Orbit". Some call it a synchronous orbit.
What are the suns satellites?
A satellite is an object that orbits a planet. The Sun is a star so it does not have satellites. Actually a satellite is anything that orbits another. So the planets and asteriods are the sun's satellites.
Medium earth orbit satellites?
With large number of low-earth-orbit satellites and the geo-synchronous orbit stuffed full of communications satellites, there aren't all THAT many "medium" altitude satellites. But there are some. The GPS navigation satellites, for example, are in highly inclined 12-hour orbits, and an unknown number of military "spy" satellites are in that middle range.
What would cause a planet to face the sun throughout the year?
Synchronous rotation or tidal locking. The Moon is in synchronous rotation about the Earth. Most major moons in the solar system have a synchronous rotation.
What actors and actresses appeared in Satellites of the Sun - 1974?
The cast of Satellites of the Sun - 1974 includes: George Finstad as Narrator
Why are the planets called satellites of the sun?
They are natural satellites of the sun. A satellite an object that orbits another object , for a example the moon would be a natural satellite to earth. That is why planets are satellites, they orbit the sun.
Does the sun have any natural satellites?
No, the sun does not have any natural satellites. Natural satellites typically orbit planets, and the sun is a star at the center of our solar system, so it does not have any objects orbiting around it in the same way planets do.
