Satellite Orbits and the Observation of the Earth - examples

Do you think this orbit is possible or is just that dream of a very weary meteorologist?

Yes, this type of orbit does exists. It is called a geosynchronous orbit and its apparently strange path is due to the fact that it is viewed from a point rotating with the Earth.

Working through this module, you will find out all you need to know concerning the observation of the Earth from space and about meteorological satellite orbits.
