Question

The questions are shown in the figure. Each question requires a detailed answering process.

a. Explain what exact orbital period is required for an orbiting satellite to be geosynchronous and why (this is not a calculation). b. What is the ground track like for a geosynchronous satellite in an elliptical orbit with a 15-degree inclination? Describe, make a sketch, label. c. What could be the advantage (or advantages) of a geosynchronous satellite to have an orbit inclination greater than zero degrees? d. Describe the orbit of a satellite which is higher than a geosynchronous orbit. What do you know for sure about the value of its orbital period? (this is not a calculation)
