What orbit are monitoring satellites put into?

Monitoring satellites are typically put into polar orbits, allowing them to cover the entire surface of the Earth as it rotates. These orbits are ideal for Earth observation missions because they provide global coverage and revisit the same area at regular intervals.


What is the range of orbit inclination?

The range of orbit inclinations for artificial satellites can vary from 0 degrees (equatorial orbit) to 90 degrees (polar orbit). The inclination determines how tilted the satellite's orbital plane is relative to the Earth's equatorial plane. Different types of orbits have specific inclination ranges based on their intended purpose and requirements.


What is parking orbit?

A parking orbit is a temporary orbit used by spacecraft to await further instructions or synchronization before moving to their intended destination. It allows for flexibility in mission planning and timing.


What advantages does a weather satellite in geostationary orbit have over a weather satellite in polar orbit?

A satellite in Geosychronous Earth Orbit (GEO) orbits the Earth in the same time period that the Earth spins, so the satellite appears to be stationary over one spot above the Earth's equator. It's always looking down at the same area of the Earth. A satellite in a polar orbit will pass quickly over any one spot on Earth and keep going. It can't watch the same area for a long period. Depending on the altitude of the orbit, it may take days or weeks to pass over the same area again. However, polar orbits are typically much lower, permitting a much higher resolution image. This is very important for photo imagery, but not so much for weather.

What is a polar orbit used for?

A polar orbit is used for various purposes, such as Earth observation, weather monitoring, and environmental research. It provides global coverage as it allows a satellite to pass over the entire surface of the Earth while remaining in a north-south direction. This type of orbit is particularly useful for capturing images of the entire planet or studying changes in polar regions.


Some satellites are put into an orbit around the earths poles what is this type of orbit called?

A satellite orbiting around the Earth's poles is in a polar orbit. This type of orbit allows the satellite to pass over different parts of the Earth as it rotates below. Polar orbits are often used for Earth observation and surveillance satellites.


What is polar orbit and geo-stationary orbit?

A satellite in polar orbit passes over the poles.A geosynchronous orbit follows the equator and at such an altitude its orbital period is one day long and remains in the same position relative to the ground.


What is the difference between sun synchronous polar orbit and a synchronous polar orbit?

A synchronous polar orbit satallite crosses the equator at the same time each day while the sun synchronous polar satellite appears in the sky at the same time every few days. the sun synchronous allow for greater temporal and spatial monitoring under same conditions and also have finer resolution as the polar synchronous imagery is at the continental scale.

What type of orbit does a weather satellite have and why?

The polar orbit so that it can measure cold and hot points around the entire earth :)


How many times does polar satellites orbit the earth?

As many times as necessary in order to get the ground map. I am no expert but one orbit from north to south (since this is polar) must depend on the impulse provided by the final kick to put it into polar orbit. TLDR is varies (I believe this is referred to as it's period) try examining various polar sats on file at wiki to see if this is correct. I to would like to know!


Which polar launch vehicle put chandrayaan-1into orbit?

PSLV-C11


Why a polar orbit is not suitable for satellite television?

it is too cold and there is no power lines to get signal


Why are there places on earth that experience polar days and polar nights?

i think because of the Earth's elliptical orbit, less sunlight reaches these places at the aphelion. =)


Which orbit would be best for investigating the Arctic and Antarctic?

If the satellite is in an orbit that takes it over the North and South Poles, it will eventually cover all parts of the Earth as the Earth spins beneath it. This kind of orbit is called a polar orbit.


Is the ISS a geostationary orbit or a polar orbit?

Neither. A polar orbit means that the station orbits at an inclination of about 90 degrees North (or South). This can occur at any reasonable altitude (apogee or perigee), typically around 250 and 350 miles. A geostationary orbit MUST have an inclination of 0 degrees--above the equator; AND have an apogee/perigee between 22,000--23,000 miles. The ISS was built and intended to be visited by the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle was incapable of orbiting higher than 500 miles. So if the ISS were in a geosynchronous orbit, the Shuttle could never have reached it. One of the disadvantages of a polar orbit is that one loses the velocity benefit of Earth's Eastward rotation. It takes extra fuel to place the same payload at the same altitude in a polar orbit, versus a typical Eastward orbit. The ISS is in a Low-Earth orbit with an apogee/perigee of about 250 miles, and an inclination of about 57 degrees.
