Perigee – point of orbit closest to earth
Types of Orbit
Low Earth Orbit
Medium Earth Orbit (semi-synchronous and sun-sychronous)
High Elliptical Orbit (HEO)
Geosynchronous (GEO)

Polar Orbit (imagery satellites)

Medium Earth Orbit Semi-synchronous
- average orbit is around 10,800 nmi altitude with 12 hour period.
- to allow user to receive signals from more than one satellite at any time.
- used by Navigation and Area Communications (Molniya) satellites.
Medium Earth Orbit Sun-synchronous
- takes advantage of precession of orbital plane caused by Earth not being a perfect sphere.
- orbits are highly inclined (normally between 95° and 105°) retrograde orbits that precess eastward around the Earth's polar axis at the rate on one revolution per year. Since the Earth-Sun line also revolves eastward at the rate of one revolution per year, the orbital plane will maintain a 4-24 constant orientation relative to the Earth-Sun line. If the satellite's orbital period is then synchronized with the rotation of the Earth, it will pass over the same point on the Earth's surface at the same local time at a regular interval.
Low Earth Orbit
Low Earth Orbit (LEO): 150 – 800 miles above earth.
Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO)

63 to 64 degree inclination slows down at apogee and speeds at perigee.
