one small correction, the satellite described at 5:01, is not in a geosynchronous orbit, but rather a geostationary orbit. the difference is that a geostationary satellite has an orbital period of 1 sidereal day, and is over the equator. whereas geosynchronous orbits have an orbital period of 1 day, but have an inclination higher then 0, meaning it makes the shape of a figure eight. edit: correction to myself: a geosynchronous can also be geostationary, geostationary is just one specific orbit under the umbrella of geosynchronous orbits.

You can also draw it with the measure tool on Google Maps, zoom out as much as possible and draw the orbit, after that you press the "dissable global view" (symbol of a sphere) and you'll get the sine wave, it's great.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Of course it's about 12 years too late for me. It always intrigued me too when I saw the satellite orbit maps. I couldn't quite figure it out in my head and then I would forget about it by the time the movie was over and I wouldn't think about it until the next movie that had it. Finally It just popped into my head while I had some freetime and I decided to figure it out for myself. I had always done really well in science and math including trigonometry. It was so amazing when it finally clicked in my head. I still get goosebumps thinking about that eureka moment. It's so awesome when you take the time to solve a problem on your own instead of just looking up the answer. Plus when you go through every step to solve it you are far more likely to remember it then if someone just gave you the answer. Thanks again. I know how time consuming producing videos can be.

Great video simplifying the ground tracks of satellites! I also appreciate the mention elliptical and geosynchronous/geostationary orbits. Many people overlook those. There is just one matter I would mention and that's the difference between the two geo orbits. Geostationary are, as you described, a single point ground track. Geosynchronous however are not limited to a "vertical line" and can take a number of shapes in their ground tracks, i.e. figure eights or even tear drop. But again, really great video simplifying the dynamics. Thank you.

After you draw the line on the paper I recommend cutting along that line then putting a similar size bracelet next to it to show that it is in fact a circle (while the paper is rolled up, I mean). Helps drive home that it is a circle orbit if people still have a hard time visualizing seeing through the paper.

If I understand your question correctly, the reason the path doesn't stay in the same place and pass over the same area every time is because it is effectively orbiting in a stationary circle but the Earth itself spins within that orbit once per day, so it takes ~90 minutes to make one complete orbit and is back in the same spot, but it's not over the same place on Earth because the Earth has spun

outstanding work! Wondered this since watching the Apollo flights! One question - you say that a geosynchronous orbit would appear in the same place, like a dot. Actually that would be a geostationary orbit. A geosynchronous orbit would appear as a figure 8. Right or wrong?
@carultch
6 жыл бұрын
Geostationary is a special case of geosynchronous. Geosynchronous just means its orbital period matches the period of rotation of the Earth, such that it returns to the same position above the surface once a day. Geostationary means that it is also a perfect circle equatorial orbit and perpetually stays over the same position above the surface.
@isaacwu2576
5 жыл бұрын
Great video, just one thing I’d like to point out geosynchronous does not mean geostationary. What you were describing is called geoSTATIONARY, where a satellite stays in the same spot above the earths surface at all times. That is not the same with geoSYNCHRONOUS, because that means that the satellites orbit around the earth is just right such that it’s longitude stays fixed but it’s latitude oscillates up and down
@MarcosProjects

Yep, so geosynchronous ground track would be a vertical line like I mentioned, and geostationary is a specific type of geosynchronous so saying the latter encompasses both
@PabloDion

His definition of geosynchronous was wrong. He described geostationary. Geosynchronous means its orbital period is with a sidereal day (360 degree rotation of earth). An oval shaped orbit that isn't along the equator will not appear as a dot on a ground track. A geostationary orbit is "locked in place" with the earth and will appear as a dot on a ground track.
@MarcosProjects
7 жыл бұрын
Geostationary orbits are just a special subset of geosynchronous orbits and I actually did allude to that slightly in saying their ground tracks would be a dot (i.e. geostationary) or at most a vertical line (i.e. all other geosynchronous orbits) but figured the minutia of all that isn't needed for an introductory style video like this, more appropriate for someone like yourself that's clearly somewhat versed in orbital dynamics
