What else can I help you with?
Does the space station orbit or is geostationary?
It orbits the Earth.However, even communications satellites in geosynchronous orbits are in orbit around the Earth; it's just that each orbit takes exactly one day, and so the satellite appears to be stationary above a point on the Earth. We can use this fact to our advantage; instead of building tracking antennas that follow a rapidly moving object, a tracking antenna for a geosynchronous satellite never needs to be turned.Which is a good thing, because those little "Dish" and DirecTV antennas can't be easily turned!
Do you weigh less on earth than in a space ship orbiting 800 kilometers above earth?
No - more on Earth - in orbit you're weightless.
How high is international space station?
The International Space Station orbits at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface.
How far up is international space station?
The ISS is 380 kilometers or about 236 miles above the Earth.
What is the distance between Earth and the International Space Station?
On average, the ISS (International Space Station), is about 199 to 215 miles above the surface of the Earth.
What is the word for a motion that is parallel to earth surface?
Geosynchronous. Like when the space station stays above the same spot no above the earth as it turns.
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.
When was Ideas Above Our Station created?
Ideas Above Our Station was created in 2002.
Is Polar Orbit a type of Geosynchronous orbit?
No. A geosynchronous orbit is one in which the satellite stays approximately stationary with respect to a point on the earth's surface. This is not possible in any orbits which are not in the equatorial plane of the earth. For example, in polar orbits the satellites will move around the earth from above the north pole to above the south pole and then back to above the north pole. Clearly, this isn't stationary relative to the earth's surface.
What is meant by a geostationary orbit?
A geosynchronous orbits refers to the orbit of a satellite that matches the rotation of the earth, allowing it to remain above the same line of longitude. The satellite may still move north and south but not east or west. A geostationary orbit is a specific type of geosynchronous orbit directly above the equator. This allows the satellite to remain completely stationary over a fixed point on the earth's surface.
Does the space station orbit or is geostationary?
It orbits the Earth.However, even communications satellites in geosynchronous orbits are in orbit around the Earth; it's just that each orbit takes exactly one day, and so the satellite appears to be stationary above a point on the Earth.

Is the geosynchronous satellites above the equator is follow an elliptical orbit?
All satellites follow an elliptical orbit - they are darn close to circular, but even a circle is an ellipse.
Do you weigh less on earth than in a space ship orbiting 800 kilometers above earth?
No - more on Earth - in orbit you're weightless.
What is the preferred orbit for telecommunication satellites?
Geosynchronous orbits about 22,300 miles (35,900 km) above the earth and operate at frequencies near 4 gigahertz (GHz) for downlinking and 6 GHz for uplinking.
Where was Walt Disney's studio?
Above the fire station at Disneyland.
Were is the Archimedes II satellite in the game fall out new Vegas?
You actually can see it in the opening cinematic. The satellite itself is in geosynchronous orbit above the Mojave region. The controls for it, however, are in the solar power plant near Novac.
How does water get to your taps?
Underground/Above ground pipes from the water station
