SUN-SYNCHRONOUS ORBIT OF SATELLITES AND THEIR RELEVANCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Let me cover this topic briefly, the sun is in a synchronous orbit, the orbit of the satellites, whose movement is based on the constant synchronization of the appearance of the Sun. This orbit is convenient for various astronomical, meteorological and scientific observations, and makes it possible for satellites to show themselves at the same angle. This article analyzes the physics of sun-synchronous orbit and how it works. The sun-synchronous orbit depends on the orbital parameters of the satellites, such as the orbital altitude, velocity and period, and telescopic observations, computer simulations, GPS and inertial navigation systems are widely used to measure and monitor them. Advantages of a sun-synchronous orbit include a constant energy source, excellent astronomical observations, and telecommunications capabilities. The article also highlights the importance of this orbit in the field of scientific research and space technology, exploring the possibilities of its more effective use.
