Spacecrafts in Geostationary Orbit

Military Satellites

A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital speed equals the Earth's rotational speed. If such a satellite's orbit lies over the equator, it is called a geostationary satellite. The orbits are known as geosynchronous orbit and geostationary orbit. Geostationary satellites appear to hover over one spot above the equator. The "magic" altitude is at 35,786 km at which a satellite's orbital speed exactly matches the rate at which the earth rotates: once every sidereal day (23 hours 56 minutes).
