A geostationary orbit, geostationary Earth orbit or geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) is a circular orbit 35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi) above the Earth's equator and following the direction of the Earth's rotation. An object in such an orbit has an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotational period (one sidereal day), and thus appears motionless, at a fixed position in the sky, to ground observers. Communications satellites and weather satellites are often placed in geostationary orbits, so that the satellite antennas (located on earth) which communicate with them do not have to rotate to track them, but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky where the satellites are located. Using this characteristic, ocean color satellites with visible and near-infrared light sensors (e.g. the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI)) can also be operated in geostationary orbit in order to monitor sensitive changes of ocean environments.
A geostationary orbit is a particular type of geosynchronous orbit, the distinction being that while an object in geosynchronous orbit returns to the same point in the sky at the same time each day, an object in geostationary orbit never leaves that position.
The video describes evolution of geostationary orbits. Geostationary (geosynchronous) satellites are widely used for space communications, data relay, direct TV and radio broadcasting, and other specialized applications.

What Is a Geosynchronous Satellite?. Part of the series: Physical & Life Science. A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite with an orbital time of 24 hours, and they are stationary at the same point on earth once a day. Find out how a geostationary orbit will allow a geosynchronous satellite to stay above the same point with help from a science teacher in this free video on physical science.

Geostationary orbit is easy enough, but I get a lot of requests to make a video about geostationary orbits. So here's a video where I launch an 3 satellite comms network with the correct altitude and spacing using a single launcher. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com
Explains the difference between geosynchronous and geostationary orbits. Shows how to calculate the height above the Earth's surface needed to achieve a geosynchronous orbit. You can see a listing of all my videos at http://www.stepbystepscience.com
