definition
adjective
Once in geostationary orbit above the equator this satellite will provide a wide range of high-speed telecommunications services for North America, South America, Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
(of an artificial satellite of the earth) moving in a geosynchronous orbit in the plane of the equator, so that it remains stationary in relation to a fixed point on the surface. This orbit is achieved at an altitude of 22,300 miles (35,900 km) above the earth. It is used by communication and meteorological satellites.
example
Egnos consists of three 'geostationary' satellites and a network of ground stations for the transmission of a signal containing information on the reliability and accuracy of the positioning.
Once in 'geostationary' orbit above the equator this satellite will provide a wide range of high-speed telecommunications services for North America, South America, Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
Finally uplink stations send the signal to three 'geostationary' satellites that relay it back for reception by end-users on the ground.
Three special satellites located in 'geostationary' orbit above Europe transmit a GPS-like signal that improves the GPS accuracy down to 1 to 2 metres.
He states that 'geostationary' satellites must violate Kepler's first law, because they must have circular orbits when the first law demands that orbits be ellipses.
