	Geostationary orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a special case of the geosynchronous orbit (abbreviated GEO), and the one which is of most interest to operators of artificial satellites (including communication and television satellites).
		Geosynchronous and geostationary orbits were first popularised by science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke in 1945 as useful orbits for communications satellites.
		A geostationary transfer orbit is used to move a satellite from low Earth orbit (LEO) into a geostationary orbit.

		This is the derivation of the geosynchronous orbital distance for a body in circular orbit around the Earth.
		The geosynchronous orbits have the same period as the Earth's rotation.
		The rotational period of the Earth is slightly shorter than a day (24 hours), because in one day the Earth does a complete rotation and a little extra due to it also moving round the Sun.

		A geosynchronous orbit is a geocentric orbit that has the same orbital period as the sidereal rotation period of the Earth.
		Circular geosynchronous orbits at the equator are known as geostationary orbits.
		A further form of geosynchronous orbit is obtained by the theoretical space elevator in which one end of the structure is tethered to the ground, maintaining a longer orbital period than by gravity alone if under tension.

	Low Earth orbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As an object orbits another, the periapsis is that point at which the two objects are closest to each other and the apoapsis is that point at which they are the farthest from each other.
		In the case of an open orbit, the speed at any position of the orbit is at least the escape velocity for that position, in the case of a closed orbit, always less.
		The gravity of the orbiting object raises tidal bulges in the primary, and since below the synchronous orbit the orbiting object is moving faster than the body's surface the bulges lag a short angle behind it.

	The "Block D" and "Block DM" Rocket Stages
		On Block DM missions to geosynchronous orbit the transfer orbit inclination is shifted to 47.5o, close to the value required to minimise the total manoeuvre value to geosynchronous orbit.
		Geosynchronous payloads generally enter drift orbits with periods of 1,400-1,480 minutes and are then allowed to drift around the geosynchronous band until they approach their planned longitude: they then perform a small manoeuvre to reach a near-stationary 1,436 minute orbit over the required longitude.
		At the first pass through the initial orbit's descending node the Block DM ignited for the first time, placing the assembly in a 51.6o, 190-835 km orbit (this was the first time that the Block DM had ignited on the initial orbit descending node).

		Appendix H contains an analysis of errors, including a derivation of maximum error as a function of delay and dispersion, where the latter quantity depends on the precision of the timekeeping system, frequency tolerance of the local clock and various residuals.
		It is suggested that externally derived, unsigned fixed-point quantities such as timestamps be shifted right one bit for internal use, since the precision represented by the full field width is seldom justified.
		Local time is derived from the hardware clock of the particular machine and increments at intervals depending on the design used.

		The draconitic period is the time that elapses between two passages of the object at its ascending node, the point of its orbit where it crosses the ecliptic from the southern to the northern hemisphere.
		The above formulÃ¦ are easily understood by considering the angular velocities of the Earth and the object: the object's apparent angular velocity is its true (sidereal) angular velocity minus the Earth's, and the synodic period is then simply a full circle divided by that apparent angular velocity.
		Note that the orbital period is independent of size: for a scale model it would be the same, when densities are the same (see also Orbit#Scaling in gravity).

	Sir Isaac Newton: The Universal Law of Gravitation
		Then, the orbit of the Moon about the Earth could be a consequence of the gravitational force, because the acceleration due to gravity could change the velocity of the Moon in just such a way that it followed an orbit around the earth.
		Newton concluded that the orbit of the Moon was of exactly the same nature: the Moon continuously "fell" in its path around the Earth because of the acceleration due to gravity, thus producing its orbit.
		In elliptical orbits the speed is faster as the object moves to the closer part of its orbit and then slows as the object proceeds to the farther part of the orbit.

	How Do Satellites Work?
		Today, the overwhelming majority of satellites in orbit around the earth are positioned at a point 22,238 miles above the earth's equator in geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO), or what is sometimes called Clarke orbit.
		This is in honor of Arthur C. Clarke, the man who first suggested in 1945 that satellites in geosynchronous orbits could be used for communications purposes.
		The mathematical derivation of the Clarke orbit is a straight-forward calculus problem.

		In astrodynamics the orbital period $T\,$ of a small body orbiting a central body in a circular or elliptical orbit is:
		In celestial mechanics when both orbiting bodies' masses have to be taken into account the orbital period $P\,$ can be calculated as follows:
		$a\,$ is the sum of the semi-major axes of the ellipses in which the centers of the bodies move, or equivalently, the semi-major axis of the ellipse in which one body moves, in the frame of reference with the other body at the origin (which is equal to their constant separation for circular orbits),

		However, rather than agreeing fully with Huntington, I agree more with Karen Armstrong, in one of her seminal works the Battle for God (2000) that the opposite has proven to be true.
