... 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 . ...

... Parameters of the Moon-perturbed orbit . ... From orbits consistent with this limitation and with the date of the launch October 1, 2000 as an example, an orbit was selected with apogee directed to the North Galactic pole at the begining and rotation of orbit plane was maximized. The initial state vector is given in the inertial coordinate system in epoch J2000.0. ... The orbit has initial perigee radius Rp=7000.0 km, initial apogee radius Ra=343000.0 km and initial period T=8.453 days. ...

... As the list of extra-solar planets orbiting sun-like stars ( exoplanets.org/planet_table.shtml ) continues to grow, more and more members of multiple-planet systems ( exoplanets.org/mult.shtml ) are being discovered. ... A planet doesn't actually orbit a star; rather both orbit a point between the two objects. ...

To achieve its task within the INTERBALL project, the subsatellite must have an orbit close to that of the main satellite and be at a certain distance away from the latter. ... For example, in case of the Tail Probe, to study the fine structure of boundaries between the formations in the interplanetary space (shock waves, magnetopause, magnetic clouds, plasma pistons, etc.) the distance between the subsatellite and the main spacecraft should be in the range of 100-300 km. ...
