geostationaarselt
Geostationary orbit is a circular orbit directly above the Earth's equator, with an orbital period that matches the Earth's rotation. This means that from the ground, a satellite in geostationary orbit appears stationary, hence the name. The altitude of a geostationary orbit is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the Earth's surface. Satellites in this orbit are used for various purposes, including telecommunications, weather observation, and navigation systems.
The stability of geostationary orbit is due to the balance between the satellite's orbital velocity and the
Geostationary orbit is a valuable resource for satellite-based services, but it is also a limited one. The
In addition to geostationary orbit, there are other types of orbits that are used for satellite-based services,
