   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orby_TV

   Orby TV was an American direct broadcast satellite provider based in Burbank, California.Founded in 2019, Orby transmitted digital satellite television and audio to households within the United States and territories on Pan-American satellite Eutelsat 117 West A.

3. Geostationary orbit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_orbit

   The first satellite placed in a geostationary orbit was Syncom 3, which was launched by a Delta D rocket in 1964. [14] With its increased bandwidth, this satellite was able to transmit live coverage of the Summer Olympics from Japan to America. Geostationary orbits have been in common use ever since, in particular for satellite television. [10]

   Such a satellite spends most of its time over two designated areas of the planet. An inclination of 63.4° is normally used to keep the perigee shift small. [15] Supersynchronous orbit: Any orbit in which the orbital period of a satellite or celestial body is greater than the rotational period of the body which contains the barycenter of the orbit.

5. Geosynchronous satellite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynchronous_satellite

   A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period. Such a satellite returns to the same position in the sky after each sidereal day , and over the course of a day traces out a path in the sky that is typically some form of analemma .

6. Geosynchronous orbit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynchronous_orbit

   The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a four-satellite system that operates in a geosynchronous orbit at an inclination of 42° and a 0.075 eccentricity. [26] Each satellite dwells over Japan, allowing signals to reach receivers in urban canyons then passes quickly over Australia. [27]

7. Stationary orbit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_orbit

   A satellite being propelled into place, into a stationary orbit, is first fired to a special equatorial orbit called a "geostationary transfer orbit" (GTO). [1] Within this oval-shaped ( elliptical ) orbit, the satellite will alternately swing out to 22,300 miles (35,890 km) high and then back down to an altitude of only 100 miles (160 km ...
