Geostationary

The idea is for satellites in geostationary orbit to collect the sun's energy and convert it into radio waves for transmission to surface stations, where it will be converted into electricity for local power grids. ❋ Chris Gay (2010)

Or about Nova Caledonia, a lifeship suspended in geostationary orbit exactly 35,786 kilometers above Perth? ❋ Unknown (2008)

Today, the frontier of private enterprise is the halo of communications satellites in geostationary orbit 24,000 miles above our planet. ❋ Unknown (2007)

This means that it is no longer in geostationary orbit, and it starts to “fall” perceptibly toward the Earth. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The system also boasts 120 American satellites in geostationary orbit. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The other, a European satellite called ARTEMIS (Advanced Relay and Technology Mission), soars 36,000 kilometres above Earth in geostationary orbit. ❋ Unknown (2005)

In 1964 the first Trisanku (!), Syncom, with the generic scientific name geostationary satellite/geosynchronous satellite was placed above a fixed longitude on the equator, and thereby a myth became a reality. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Arthur C Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the originator of the idea of geostationary satellites has died ❋ Bill Kerr (2008)

He also popularised the idea of geostationary communications satellites in the 1940s, which has led to the geostationary orbit also being dubbed the 'Clarke Orbit'. ❋ Adam Whitehead (2008)

The satellites that take our pictures for weather are what are called geostationary satellites, meaning they rotate at the same Earth that the Earth rotates. ❋ Unknown (2006)

There are the ones that sit in what's called geostationary orbit - that means that they kind of sit there and take a picture of one hemisphere at a time. ❋ Unknown (2011)

When operational, Long March-5 is expected to deliver up to 25 metric tons of payload, including space station modules to the low Earth orbit, and up to 14 metric tons to the so called geostationary transfer orbit, where most communications satellites are released after launch. ❋ Unknown (2010)

By the way, if you're curious about the "flying banana" (actually called a geostationary banana), you can go ❋ Unknown (2009)

The first advantage of that closeness is that it creates the best conditions for launching satellites into a so-called geostationary orbit (GSO). ❋ Unknown (2008)

Aside from bringing us the classics 2001: A Space Odyssey, Rendezvous with Rama, and Childhood’s End, we must also credit him with the notion of geostationary orbit for satellites, and the proposal of a space elevator to reach Earth orbit. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Proximity to the equator is an advantage for launching payloads such as geostationary satellites used for telecommunications because less fuel propellant is needed. ❋ Unknown (2009)
