orbit (GEO) satellite belt11In this work we will refer to the geostationary ring as the altitude at which the orbital period exactly matches the rotation of the earth, with zero eccentricity and zero inclination, such that the object appears exactly fixed in the sky from an earth-based ...
Artist's illustration of a concept for NASA's GeoCarb mission, which will map concentrations of key carbon gases above the Americas from geostationary orbit.

expressed the view that, as the geostationary orbit was a limited resource at risk of becoming saturated, its use should be streamlined, [...] daccess-ods.un.org 一些代表团认为,地球静止轨道是有 可 能 饱 和的 有限 资源,因而应当合理 利用,将具有长期前景的活动放在优先位置,为实现千年发展...
Below are views of recent flares captured by the GOES-East satellite. GOES-East orbits above Earth's equator at a speed equal to our planet's rotation, allowing it to stay fixed in the same place (also known as "geostationary orbit")....
Real-time GEO orbit determination using TOPSTAR 3000 GPS receiver Real-time spacecraft navigation based on spaceborne GPS receivers is becoming a common technique for low-earth orbits (LEO), but has not yet been demonstrated for geostationary orbits (GEO). The TOPSTAR 3000 spaceborne GPS receiver ...
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION FINISHES CHALLENGING YEAR AS PLANS ARE MADE FOR ITS RETIREMENT - The International Space Station continues to act as humanity’s outpost in low-Earth orbit, a role that began at the turn of this century. However, the ISS is showing its age and plans are being adva...
The Earth observation geometry for a Moon-based platform is significantly different from both geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and the platform at the Sun-Earth Lagrange L1 point. A Moon-based platform can observe almost the entire Earth hemisphere, whereas GEO platforms do not have a wide en...
Due to the limitation of the low Earth orbit observation system on spatial coverage and revisiting time, TOA outward radiative flux derived from narrowband sensors onboard geostationary satellites have been used to supplement CERES observations, in order to derive hourly global data that have been ...
The project was started in 1994, and the system was completed and put into operation in 2000 with the launching of two Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites. With an active-positioning scheme, the system provided users in China with positioning, timing, wide-area differential and short ...
