Question

You are working with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and the DOD (Department of Defense) asks you to put spy satellite in a geosynchronous (stationary with respect to an observer on Earth) orbit They want to know what sort of optics t0 put on the satellite and this depends on its altitude What altitude should the satellite be placed for this orbit; assuming a circular orbit? (RE 6.38 X 10' km)

Step 1

We know that the satellite needs to be in a geosynchronous orbit, which means it has to complete one orbit around the Earth in the same time it takes for the Earth to rotate once (24 hours). Show more…
