ORBITS BY:John Arbie T. Salunat
What are orbits? Orbits: are curving path of celestial object. (Celestial object means any natural object which can be found outside of the earth's atmosphere) most of the orbits shape is oval. http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/spacecraft/mechanics/circular-orbit.jpg
The Earth's orbits: Polar Orbits Sun Synchronous Orbits Geosynchronous Orbits What are the kinds of orbits? http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/education/class/paul/geo.gif
Polar Orbits • The best term would be near polar orbits . • This type of orbit have an inclination near 90 degrees . • This orbits takes approximately 90 minutes to complete one orbit . • These type of satellite is used for measuring the teamperature of the atmosphere. • The satellite in this orbit is near from the earth. http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/images/polar.gif
Sun Synchronous Orbits • These kind of orbits allows a satellite to pass over a section of the Earth at the same time of day . • The satellite has to shift its orbit by approximately one degree per day . • These satellites orbit at an altitude between 700 to 800 km . • The satellite of this orbit use to take pictures of the Earth and measures the longwave radiation . http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/education/class/paul/sunsyn.gif
Geosynchronous Orbits • It is also know as Geostationary Orbits. • The satellite on this orbit circle the Earth at the same time as the Earth spins • The satellite in this orbit is found near at the equator • This satellite of this orbit are used to study the hurricanes and use for communication satellites • The satellite here in this orbit is very far away. http://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2001/06/orbits/9113803-5-eng-GB/Orbits_large.jpg
