what do you understand by geostationary and polar satellite .Discuss they are important uses
Answers
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east). ... BGAN, the new global mobile communications network, uses geostationary satellites.
USES:
A worldwide network of operational geostationary meteorological satellites is used to provide visible and infrared images of Earth's surface and atmosphere for weather observation, oceanography, and atmospheric tracking.
The polar satellites are the satellites which revolve around the Earth in a north−south orbit passing over the poles as the Earth spins about its north - south axis. The polar satellites positioned nearly 500-800 km above the Earth travels pole to pole in 1 hour 42 minutes.
USES:
Polar orbits are often used for Earth-mapping, Earth observation, capturing the Earth as time passes from one point, reconnaissance satellites, as well as for some weather satellites. The Iridium satellite constellation also uses a polar orbit to provide telecommunications services.
