Examples of 'synchronous orbit' in a sentence

Meaning of "synchronous orbit"

Synchronous orbit: This refers to an orbit in which a satellite orbits the Earth at the same rate as the Earth's rotation. This results in the satellite appearing to hover over a fixed position on the Earth's surface. Synchronous orbits are commonly used by communication satellites for constant coverage of a specific area
Show more definitions
  • A satellite orbit where the orbital period is equal to, or multiples of, the Earth’s rotational period; i.e. making one, two, three, etc., orbits in a 24-hour period. Examples include geosynchronous (period equals Earth's rotation), semisynchronous (two orbits per day); and geostationary (geosynchronous orbit where satellite maintains a fixed position on the equator).
