Definitions

adj.形容词 adjective
  1. 1
    • : of or relating to a satellite traveling in an orbit 22,300 miles above the earth's equator: at this altitude, the satellite's period of rotation, 24 hours, matches the earth's and the satellite always remains in the same spot over the earth: geostationary orbit.

Examples

  • Instead, the early customers are more likely to include the US military, which when operating in remote areas often relies on geostationary satellites plagued by congested service and high latency.

  • Typical satellite internet services place just a few satellites in very high orbits, called geostationary orbits.

  • First of all, the station requires a certain attitude to maintain signal with geostationary satellites and talk to Mission Control on the ground.

  • Both are much lower than the 35,000km geostationary orbits used by traditional satellite-broadband networks, which should result in lower latency and a better experience for Internet users.
