geostationary
|
The geostationary orbit is located at an altitude of 35,786 km above the terrestrial equator, in the plane of the equator and has an eccentricity of zero (it is circular). A body which is in this orbit has thus an orbital period equivalent to the rotation of Earth around itself, 24 hours (or more precisely, 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds). It thus appears immobile in relation to the Earth. This characteristic makes this orbit a much sought after one for positioning communication satellites: a fixed antenna aimed at the satellite is enough to capture the signals.
