Does a satellite in a geostationary orbit move across the sky from east to west?
No. A geostationary satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, which means not moving. This is a big part of the reason why it is referred to as a geo'stationary' satellite.
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
What is an equatorial satellite?
A satellite in an equatorial orbit flies along the plane of the Earth's equator. If an orbit does not lie at an equatorial orbit, then it will not remain at a fixed state.
Low Earth orbit satellite period of revolution?
umm if my calculations are correct the period of a low earth orbit (LEO) is approximately 40000000000069 years. as extrapolated from Kepler's equation.
Who invented the INSAT satellite?
The acronym INSAT means Indian National Satellite in the Geo Stationary Orbit. The GSO satellites are useful for communication and weather forecasting . They carry C , Extended C and Ku Band Transponders (16 Numbers ) for TVRO and DBS schemes. The satellite design, testing, fabrication and assembly are the joint venture of Technical persons of ISRO and any individual.
