What type of satellite is geostationary operational environment satellite how does it work?
a weather satellite and it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction that Earth revolves so it is always fixed over the same location.
What is repitivity and revisit of satellite orbit?
The repetitivity and revisit of satellite orbit refers to the time elapsed between observations of the same point on earth by a satellite. It usually depends with the target location, the orbit of the satellite and the swath of the sensor.
A satellite in a low earth orbit moving faster than a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
YES As height increases, speed of satellite decreases.
The type of force that causes a satellite to orbit Earth is a?
Its a centripetal force, whose origin/source is gravitation.
What is an equatorial satellite?
A satellite in an equatorial orbit flies along the plane of the Earth's equator. If an orbit does not lie at an equatorial orbit, then it will not remain at a fixed state.
Which type of satellite is best suited for detailed analysis of a complex weather system?
Polar Orbit
How does a weather satellite get into orbit?
It's lifted into space by a big rocket.
What is a gps satellite's orbit type?
Geosynchronous
Which type of satellite has the largest footprint?
equatorial orbit
What type of satellite did the US first launch into orbit?
eplorer
Is Orbit Send With Satellite?
The orbit helps the satellite go into orbit.
What have been placed in orbit to improve weather forecasts communication astronomy and navigation?
Correct answer= "satellite"
What is the type of weather data is collected with a satellite weather imagery?
Meteorologic images too show weather in the future.
What meteorological satellite orbit is best suited for continuous monitoring of the track of a hurricane?
Geostationary Earth-Orbiting Weather Satellites
What is a weather satelite?
The weather satellite is a type of satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. City lights, fires, effects of pollution, auroras, sand and dust storms, snow cover, ice mapping, boundaries of ocean currents, energy flows, etc., and other types of environmental information are collected using weather satellites.
What type of satellite is geostationary operational environment satellite how does it work?
a weather satellite and it rotates around the Earth at the same rate and in the same direction that Earth revolves so it is always fixed over the same location.
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.
