Geostationary orbit satellite view maps at all 10 deg longitude positions.
Geostationary satellite orbit map.
If such a satellite s orbit lies over the equator it is called a geostationary satellite.
Use the preset dropdown menu to conveniently select a subset of satellites for example russian or low earth orbit satellites.
122 12 w live world map of satellite positions.
At any inclination a geosynchronous orbit synchronizes with the rotation of the earth.
2 line element calculation method.
Guides to the night sky.
This application maps the current location of about 19 300 manmade objects orbiting the earth.
Geostationary orbit views from 10 to 60 deg west longitude atlantic ocean region geostationary orbit views from 70 to 120 deg west longitude america geostationary orbit views from 130 to 180 deg west longitude pacific ocean region note all satellite coverage maps are as viewed from above the equator latitude zero height 35768 km.
The smallest inclination that a satellite can be launched into is that of the launch site s latitude so launching the satellite from close to the equator limits the amount of inclination change needed later.
Popularly or loosely the term geosynchronous may be used to mean geostationary.
Delta v calculator for transfer orbit to geostationary orbit.
About 35 786 kilometers above the earth s surface satellites are in geostationary orbit.
Nesdis is part of the national oceanic and atmospheric administration noaa and the department of commerce.
The orbits of the satellites are known as the geosynchronous orbit and geostationary orbit.
Geostationary satellites are launched to the east into a prograde orbit that matches the rotation rate of the equator.
A world map of the positions of satellites above the earth s surface and a planetarium view showing where they appear in the night sky.
The office of satellite and product operations ospo is part of the national environmental satellite data and information service nesdis.
Satellite maps with geo elevation angles.
Specifically geosynchronous earth orbit geo may be a synonym for geosynchronous equatorial orbit or geostationary earth orbit.
From the center of the earth this is approximately 42 164 kilometers.
This distance puts it in the high earth orbit category.
Additionally launching from close to the equator allows the speed.
Selected satellites are colored red.
A geostationary orbit is valuable for the constant view it provides but satellites in a geostationary orbit are parked over the equator so they don t work well for far northern or southern locations which are always on the edge of view for a geostationary satellite.
