Mission to GEO, after all.
Or a NOSS/Molniya HEO.
Well, well.
As Kosh says: "And so it begins."
its not geo! its GSO! geo is 0 degree inclination
No, GSO is 0 degree inclination. Any other inclination is not "stationary"
gso is geosyncrinous ourbit not geostationary orbit! geo (geostationary orbit) is zero degrees GSO is not
GSO is Geostationary orbit. GEO is Geosynchronous Earth orbit.
Opinions vary but if you search for
"difference between geo and gso",
You overwhelmingly get these definitions:
