... Orbit . ... The orbital period of a satellite increases as its mean distance from Earth grows. ... T = 84 minutes x R x –R . ... A satellite orbiting above the equator at that distance keeps its position above the same spot on the ground; hence this is known as the synchronous orbit, from the Greek syn--same, chronos--time. ... For this reason many synchronous satellites have carried detectors for magnetic fields and for trapped or injected ions and electrons. ... Synchronous satellites . ...
