The apparatus stood in a
polar orbit 5000 km from the clouds.
Summary: Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh) [India], Apr 1 (ANI): The Indian Space Research Organisation's PSLVC-45 successfully injected electronic intelligence satellite EMISAT along with 28 international customer satellites into sun-synchronous
polar orbit on Monday.
By combining these two pieces of information they were able to establish that the dust ring was consistent with a perfectly
polar orbit. This means that while the stellar orbits orbit each other in one plane, like two horses going around on a carousel, the disc surrounds these stars at right angles to their orbits, like a giant ferris wheel with the carousel at the centre.
-- A NASA satellite designed to precisely measure changes in Earth's ice sheets, glaciers, sea ice and vegetation was launched into
polar orbit from California early Saturday.
The IRNSS-1I is the eighth satellite to join the NavIC navigation satellite constellation in Earth's
polar orbit. The 8th navigation satellite IRNSS-1I will be a replacement in the NavIC constellation.
When a satellite orbits over the North and South Poles, we say it's in a
polar orbit. As the satellite orbits the Earth from pole to pole, the Earth spins below.
The satellite follows a Sun-synchronous
polar orbit. This is a highly inclined, retrograde orbit that precesses 1[degrees] per day, enabling the spacecraft to view Earth at the same local time on successive passes.
Its armor will keep it safe and work properly over its year-long
polar orbit collecting data about Jupiter,' the company posted.
It will enter a long
polar orbit flying to within 2,900 miles (4,667 km) of the planet's swirling cloud tops.
The PSLV is capable of launching 1,600- kg satellites in 620- km sun- synchronous
polar orbit and 1,050- kg satellites in geo- synchronous transfer orbit.
