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.
What else can I help you with?
Which satellite used for telecommunication?
Geostationary satellite
First Indian satellite in geostationary satellite was?
Aryabhatta
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
Which is the height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately?
The height of a geostationary satellite from the surface is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles).
How far above the earth is geostationary orbit?
Geostationary satellites are in an orbit that's 22,282 mi (35,786 km) above the surface of the Earth. For more on Geostationary satellite orbits, visit http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
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.
Why perfect geostationary satellite can not be made?
It should be possible to have the perfectly geostationary satellites. But it is not possible. Perfectly geostationary satellite can not be made. Such satellite is pulled away by other objects like moon, sun and other planets from different directions. This force changes the velocity of the satellites.
What is the main characteristic of a geostationary satellite's footprint?
its location
Which is the first geostationary satellite of India?
Aryabhata in 1975
What type of satellite do communication companies prefer?
geostationary
How can you tell if a satellite is in a geostationary orbit?
me nuh care
What type of satellite is the g.o.e.s.?
It is a geostationary operational environmental satellite, though I'm not sure what is does.
