... Low Polar Orbit . ... Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. ...

If the satellite then starts near a noon-midnight orbit, it will always pass near noon and near midnight. ...

Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. A low altitude polar orbit is widely used for monitoring the Earth because each day, as the Earth rotates below it, the entire surface is covered. ... A different choice was made for MAGSAT, orbited 1979-80 to survey the Earth's own magnetic field near its surface. ...

This plot shows counts of faint blue stars 30,000 light-years from Earth. The center of the plot is the North Galactic Pole. The large overdensity of stars in Virgo appears in red between 60ТК and 300ТК galactic longitude. The dashed arc marks the plane containing debris from the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy now being cannibalized by the Milky Way. It's possible the new structure is related to the Sagittarius dwarf, but known debris from this galaxy is 4 times farther away. ...
