Some are (geosynchronous are not).
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
- No ...
Geosynchronous Orbit
Geosynchronous orbit? or Low Earth Orbit?
Enrico P. Mercanti has written: 'Need for expanded environmental measurement capabilities in geosynchronous earth orbit' -- subject(s): Geostationary satellites, Artificial satellites in remote sensing
Yes.It is called geosynchronous orbit where the satellite speed equals the rotation of earth but is far enough so gravity doesn't effect its orbit immediately.Weather satellites are geosynchronous as are communication, broadcast (DirecTv and Dish, to name a few), spy, scientific.http://www.spacetoday.org/Satellites/SatBytes/SatOrbits.html
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.
All satellites follow an elliptical orbit - they are darn close to circular, but even a circle is an ellipse.
At least three geosynchronous satellites orbiting equidistantly from one another.
No it does not. GPS satellites are geosynchronous, so they are in the same place 24 hours a day.
There are two types of satellites that are located in a foxed spot over earth the first is reconnaissance satellites for observation of earth and usually used by the military.. The second is earth observation satellites and are intended for environmental monitoring
