A satellite communication system why is the geostationary orbit preferred?

Geostationary orbit is preferred for satellite communication systems because the satellite appears to be fixed in the sky, allowing for continuous communication with stationary ground stations. This eliminates the need for tracking equipment on the ground. Additionally, the geostationary orbit provides a large coverage area, making it ideal for broadcasting and communication services.


What is the name of the orbit of the satellite around the earth?

A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps


An orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the earths rotational speed is called?

That's a 'geosynchronous' orbit. If it also happens to be over the equator, so that the satellite appears to stay at the same point in the sky, then it's a 'geostationary' orbit.


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 is a non Geo stationary satellite?

Non Geo stationary satellite is that satellite which has different angular velocity from earth and not placed on the height of 36000 Km from the earth. If you use Geo stationary satellite than only 3 satellites are enough to cover whole world. most of satellite are geostationary and they are(most of them) active satellites too.

Which is closer to the sun a satellite in Leo orbit or in geostationary orbit?

LEO orbit is closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit is.There's essentially no difference in their distance from the Sun.

Does a satellite in a geostationary orbit move across the sky from east to west?

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.


How can you tell that a satellite is in geostationary?

Watch the satellite, with either a telescope or a very highly directional radio antenna. An observation period of twelve hours will be long enough to answer the question. If the satellite appears to move in the sky by more than a few tenths of a degree during that time, then it is not in geostationary orbit.

What is station keeping of satellite?

Geostationary should resolve in geostationary orbit because its centrimeter and gravitational force in geostationary satellite.A parking slot is provided for satellite.In geostationary satellite is maintain in this orbit in its whole life and maintain satellite in geostationary orbit is called "Station Keeping"In other words, the control routine necessary to keep the satellite in positionis known as "Station Keeping".It use to overlapping of coverage area of individual satellite.


What is non geostationary?

A geostationary orbit is an orbit of the Earth that is circular, over the equator, and at the right distance to have a period of 24 hours. A satellite in such an orbit appears to hang motionless, always at the same point in the sky Anything else is a non-geostationary orbit. A satellite in one of those appears to move in the sky, so that if you want to communicate with it, you need a movable dish.
