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.

Is the space station moving or stationary?

Its moving. Quickly. It is in orbit around the earth, the same as any satellite.


What are Geo - stationary orbit satellites?

Geo stationary satellites are man made objects sent up into space that orbit the Earth parallel with and in the plane of the equator. They are sent up into space so that their distance from the Earth and hence their orbital speed matches the speed with which the Earth rotates on its axis. This means that they maintain a constant "stationary" position over a point on the equator of the planet. This is useful for communications and earth observation purposes.


What are the main features of geo stationary orbits?

Geostationary orbits are circular orbits located approximately 35,786 kilometers above the Earth's equator, where a satellite's orbital period matches the Earth's rotation period of about 24 hours. This allows the satellite to remain fixed over a specific point on the Earth's surface, providing consistent communication or observation capabilities. Key features include a constant position relative to the Earth, minimal relative motion, and coverage of a large area of the planet, making them ideal for telecommunications and weather monitoring. Additionally, the orbit must be inclined at zero degrees to maintain this stationary position.


How can you tell a satellite is in geostationary orbit?

A satellite is in geostationary orbit when it orbits the Earth at the same speed and direction as the Earth's rotation. This allows the satellite to appear stationary from the surface of the Earth. Measurements of its position and velocity can confirm that it is in geostationary orbit.


Name the Geo stationary satellites of India?

The geostationary satellites of India are INSAT (Indian National Satellite System) series. This series includes satellites like INSAT-3A, INSAT-3C, INSAT-4A, INSAT-4B, and GSAT- series satellites. These satellites provide communication, broadcasting, meteorological, and search and rescue services across India.

How far must a geostationary communication satellite orbit?

What is the significance of the geo orbit radius in relation to satellite communication?

The geo orbit radius is significant in satellite communication because it determines the satellite's position relative to the Earth. Satellites in geostationary orbit, which have a radius of about 22,236 miles, appear stationary from the Earth's surface. This allows for continuous communication with fixed ground stations, making them ideal for services like television broadcasting and weather monitoring.

Is a geo-stationary satellite useful?

If that translates as a geosynchronous satellite, then yes it is useful. This is a satellite which, once attaining high orbit, its speed is synchronized to the speed of the earth's orbit. This permits the satellite to remain in the same stationary position over a given portion of the earth's surface. These types of satellites are useful for communications such as weather and television etc. as there is no loss of signal. At least, that's the idea if one discounts a snowstorm or heavy rain and the tv goes out.

Low Earth orbit satellite period of revolution?

umm if my calculations are correct the period of a low earth orbit (LEO) is approximately 40000000000069 years. as extrapolated from Kepler's equation.


Why do people who live near the north pole have trouble receiving signals from geostationary satellites?

A geo-stationary satellite is 35,560 km above the equator. If you're sitting at thenorth pole looking at that satellite, you're looking 8.6 degrees below your horizon.That's a tough direction to receive satellite signals from.

What is the antonym for satellite?

An antonym means the opposite. A satellite is an orbiting object. The opposite of that would be a stationary object.
