In a geosynchronous orbit, a satellite orbits Earth at the same rate as Earth rotates and thus stays over the same place on Earth all the time.
What else can I help you with?
What is the radius of a geosynchronous orbit around Earth?
The radius of a geosynchronous orbit around Earth is approximately 42,164 kilometers.
What kind of an orbit is use by direct tv satellites?
Geosynchronous Orbit
A satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
That is called a geosynchronous orbit.
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.
Does dbs also known as direct broadcast satellite such as directv and dishtv orbit in a geosynchronous orbit?
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
What are the orbital communications satellites are placed in called?
Geosynchronous orbit? or Low Earth Orbit?
What is a geo synchronus satellite?
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
What distances from earth equate to multiples of geosynchronous orbit?
It appears that geosynchronous orbit (orbit that appears stationary from earth's surface) is more or less equal to the circumference of the earth (around 27,000 miles). The moon which orbits the earth reaches the same point every 29 or so days. So it would appear that the moon is around 29 times the distance for geosynchronous orbit or about 783,000 miles.
What types of satellites are used to provide satellite Internet access?
A: Low Earth orbit, B: Medium Earth orbit, & D: Geosynchronous orbit.
How many times does a geosynchronous orbit revolves around the earth?
Once every day.
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.
What is the full form of GSLV?
The full form of GSLV is Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. It is an expendable launch vehicle used by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to launch satellites into geosynchronous transfer orbit.
