en GSO 2 geosynchronous orbit
an orbit of Earth in which the satellite has a period precisely equal to the period of Earth's rotation on its axis (23 hours, 56 minues, and 4.1 seconds), satelliidi orbiit, mille puhul selle tiirlemisperiood võrdub täpselt Maa pöörlemisperioodiga (23 tundi, 56 minutit ja 4,1 sekundit)
en GSO 3 geostationary orbit, geostationary satellite orbit, geostationary Earth orbit
orbit in which a satellite performs one rotation around the planet in 24 hours while remaining over the same point on the surface of the Earth, orbiit, millel satelliit teeb tiiru ümber Maa 24 tunniga, jäädes Maal asuva punkti suhtes paigale

Good to know
- See also: orbit (broader) [ IATE:1475490 ] geostationary orbit (narrower) [ IATE:1366030 ] medium Earth orbit (related), [ IATE:1694240 ] low Earth orbit (related), [ IATE:151479 ] satellite (related), [ IATE:1592828 ] Not to be confused with geostationary orbit [ IATE:1366030 ], in which a satellite maintains a geosynchronous orbit in the equatorial plane, thus giving the appearance of remaining in the same spot in the sky.

geosünkroonorbiit

Usage examples

Juhul, kui orbiidi tasand on ekvaatori tasandi suhtes väikese nurga all, on tegemist geosünkroonorbiidiga.

geosynchronous orbit

Usage examples

A spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit appears to remain above Earth at a constant longitude, although it may seem to wander north and south. The spacecraft returns to the same point in the sky at the same time each day.
