Tundra Orbital Elements
The Tundra orbit is a special type of G eosynchronous Orbit which is highly inclined from the Earth's equator. A Tundra orbit is also elliptical such that the satellite spends more time North of the equator than South of it. At the present time, the only satellite company utilizing the Tundra Orbit is Sirius Satellite Radio. It includes Molnya orbit, Tundra Orbit and Low Earth Orbit used as satellite orbits for launching the satellite The path around the Earth on which satellite revolves is called satellite orbit. To take care of gravitational pull of the Earth, satellite is launched with vertical as well as forward motion. The classic Tundra orbit has been used by communications satellites previously. Sirius Satellite Radio's Radiosat 1, 2 and 3 all use the classic Tundra orbit at 63.4° inclination to provide satellite radio service to North America. (3) This thesis will examine the TCS design considerations for a meteorological.
Highly elliptical geosynchronous orbit with a high inclination (approximately 63.4°), an orbital period of one sidereal day, and a typical eccentricity between 0.2 and 0.3.Wikipedia
- Geosynchronous orbit
Earth-centered orbit with an orbital period that matches Earth's rotation on its axis, 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds (one sidereal day). Observer on Earth's surface, an object in geosynchronous orbit returns to exactly the same position in the sky after a period of one sidereal day.Wikipedia
- Geocentric orbit
A geocentric orbit or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting the Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites. In 1997 NASA estimated there were approximately 2,465 artificial satellite payloads orbiting the Earth and 6,216 pieces of space debris as tracked by the Goddard Space Flight Center.Wikipedia
- Highly elliptical orbit
Elliptic orbit with high eccentricity, usually referring to one around Earth. Examples of inclined HEO orbits include Molniya orbits, named after the Molniya Soviet communication satellites which used them, and Tundra orbits.Wikipedia
- Geostationary orbit
Circular geosynchronous orbit 35786 km above Earth's equator and following the direction of Earth's rotation. Orbit has an orbital period equal to the Earth's rotational period, one sidereal day, and so to ground observers it appears motionless, in a fixed position in the sky.Wikipedia
- Geosynchronous satellite
Satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period. Typically some form of analemma.Wikipedia
- Low Earth orbit
Earth-centred orbit with an altitude of 2000 km or less (approximately one-third of the radius of Earth), or with at least 11.25 periods per day ( an orbital period of 128 minutes or less) and an eccentricity less than 0.25. Most of the artificial objects in outer space are in LEO.Wikipedia
- Molniya orbit
Type of satellite orbit designed to provide communications and remote sensing coverage over high latitudes. Highly elliptical orbit with an inclination of 63.4 degrees, an argument of perigee of 270 degrees, and an orbital period of approximately half a sidereal day.Wikipedia
- High Earth orbit
Geocentric orbit with an altitude entirely above that of a geosynchronous orbit . Apparent retrograde motion – that is, even if they are in a prograde orbit , their orbital velocity is lower than Earth's rotational speed, causing their ground track to move westward on Earth's surface.Wikipedia
- Geostationary transfer orbit
Type of geocentric orbit. Intermediate step for reaching their final orbit.Wikipedia
- Polar orbit
One in which a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited on each revolution. Inclination of about 60 - 90 degrees to the body's equator.Wikipedia

Region of space around Earth above low Earth orbit (altitude of 2000 km above sea level) and below geosynchronous orbit (altitude of 35786 km above sea level). Home to a number of artificial satellites – the most common uses include navigation, communication, and geodetic/space environment science.Wikipedia
- Communications satellite
Artificial satellite that relays and amplifies radio telecommunication signals via a transponder; it creates a communication channel between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on Earth. Communications satellites are used for television, telephone, radio, internet, and military applications.Wikipedia
- Areosynchronous orbit
The areosynchronous orbits (ASO) are the synchronous orbits for artificial satellites around the planet Mars. They are the martian equivalent of the geosynchronous orbits (GSO) on the Earth.Wikipedia
- Semi-synchronous orbit
Orbit with a period equal to half the average rotational period of the body being orbited, and in the same direction as that body's rotation. Considered a medium Earth orbit, with a period of just under 12 hours.Wikipedia
- Supersynchronous orbit
Either an orbit with a period greater than that of a synchronous orbit, or just an orbit whose apoapsis is higher than that of a synchronous orbit. A synchronous orbit has a period equal to the rotational period of the body which contains the barycenter of the orbit.Wikipedia

- Earth observation satellite
Satellite used or designed for Earth observation from orbit, including spy satellites and similar ones intended for non-military uses such as environmental monitoring, meteorology, cartography and others. The most common type are Earth imaging satellites, that take satellite images, analogous to aerial photographs; some EO satellites may perform remote sensing without forming pictures, such as in GNSS radio occultation.Wikipedia
- 2010 TK7
Sub-kilometer near-Earth asteroid and the first Earth trojan discovered to date; it precedes Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
