geostationary

listen to the pronunciation of geostationary
İngilizce - İngilizce
At a fixed distance in three dimensions relative to a particular point on the Earth's surface; generally only possible with orbital satellites

The measurement is accomplished by observing the Faraday rotation angle of signals from geostationary satellites on a continuous basis.

Of, relating to, or being the orbit of such a satellite
Of, relating to, or being a satellite that travels above Earth's equator from west to east at an altitude of approximately 35,900 kilometers (22,300 miles) and at a speed matching that of Earth's rotation, thus remaining stationary in relation to Earth
of or having a geosynchronous orbit such that the position in such an orbit is fixed with respect to the earth; "a geostationary satellite
An object orbiting the earth at such speed that it appears to remain stationary with respect to the earth's surface See also Clarke Belt
At a fixed distance in three dimensions relative to a particular point on the Earths surface; generally only possible with orbital satellites
A satellite which appears to remain at a fixed location above the earth, cf Polar orbiting satellites A satellite in a geostationary orbit is in fact orbiting the earth at the same rate at which the earth is rotating Meteosat is a satellite in a geostationary orbit, the NOAA satellites received here at Dundee are polar orbiting
of or having a geosynchronous orbit such that the position in such an orbit is fixed with respect to the earth; "a geostationary satellite"
Full Name: Description: Fixed orbit, approximately 36 000 km above the Earthï½´s equator Satellites parked in this orbit travel at the same speed as the rotation of the Earth
SATELLITE A satellite that rotates at the same rate as the earth, thus remaining over the same spot above the equator
A term used to describe a satellite that has a period of rotation around the Earth of 24 hours It stays above the same point on the Earth’s surface
{s} located in a fixed position (about a high-altitude satellite that is always located in one fixed point in relation to Earth)
Full Name: Description: Fixed orbit, approximately 36 000 km above the Earth´s equator Satellites parked in this orbit travel at the same speed as the rotation of the Earth
an orbit in which a satellite remains over the same area of the Earth; appears stationary with respect to the spinning Earth
Located in an orbit whose orbital period is 24 hours, remaining over one spot on the equator
Satellites orbit the Earth 22,300 miles above the Equator and rotate at the same relative speed and direction as the Earth's surface Therefore, the satellites appear stationary There are nearly 40 satellites currently in this type of orbit over North America, and well over 100 around the globe
A system of satellites that are placed in fixed positions above the earth's surface and orbit along with the earth (also called a geosynchronous orbit)
Geosychnronous with an orbital plane in the earth's equatorial plane (i e zero inclination) Satellites in Geostationary orbit are always moving with the rotation of the earth
Describes an orbit in which a satellite is always in the same position (appears stationary) with respect to the rotating Earth The satellite travels around the Earth in the same direction, at an altitude of approximately 35,790 km (22,240 statute miles) because that produces an orbital period equal to the period of rotation of the Earth (actually 23 hours, 56 minutes, 04 09 seconds) A worldwide network of operational geostationary meteorological satellites provides visible and infrared images of Earth's surface and atmosphere The satellite systems include the U S GOES, METEOSAT(launched by the European Space Agency and operated by the European Weather Satellite Organization-EUMETSAT), the Japanese GMS and most commercial, telecommunications satellites See Clarke Belt
Refers to a satellite's orbit which is synchronized to the rotation of the earth, thereby causing the satellite to appear to remain stationary Communications satellites are parked in geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the equator
or geosynchronous describes an orbit in which a satellite is always in the same position with respect to the Earth The satellite travels around the Earth, in the same direction and at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, completing one orbit in a 24-hour period All geostationary satellites are directly above Earth's equator and are at the same altitude
Refers to a geosynchronous satellite angle with zero inclination, so the satellite appears to hover over one spot on the earth’s equator
Sometimes called geosynchronous - a characteristic of a satellite orbit in which the satellite circles the globe, over the equator, in synchronization with the earth's rotation These satellites remain over the same earth location, allowing images of the scene below the satellite to be taken continuously, with little or no perceived movement
geostationary orbit
a geosynchronous orbit that is fixed with respect to a position on the Earth
