Geosynchronous Orbits One application of the law of gravity is to figure out how to put a satellite into orbit so that it remains in the same position relative to ground all the time. ... Notice that ...

But these Mission Extension Vehicles don't have the ability to transfer fluids from one satellite to another. That is the ...

In a geosynchronous orbit, to stay in sync with sidereal day and to avoid the downward pull of gravity the European Space Agency (ESA) says that satellites have to maintain a speed of around 7,000 ...

But the nature of geosynchronous orbit is well understood. At that altitude, satellites take 24 hours to complete one orbit, rotating in lockstep with Earth and appearing stationary in the sky.

China's Shijian-21 and Shijian-25 satellites had been moving toward each other in geosynchronous orbit, around 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above the equator, Spacenews reported on June 6.

Their destination is geosynchronous orbit, a belt of satellites positioned more than 22,000 miles (nearly 36,000 kilometers) over the equator.

Debris from the broken-apart Intelsat 33e telecom satellite is spreading across geosynchronous orbit, threatening spacecraft in this precious region of space, an animation shows.
