- 13. 15 Orbit types Eccentricity classifications –Circular orbit: An orbit that has an eccentricity of 0 and whose path traces a circle –Elliptic orbit: An orbit with an eccentricity greater than 0 and less than 1 whose orbit traces the path of an ellipse. •Molniya orbit: A highly elliptic orbit with inclination of 63.4°and orbital period of half of a sidereal day (roughly 12 hours). Such a satellite spends most of its time over a designated area of the planet By Ahmad farrag

- 15. 17 By Ahmad farragOrbit types Synchronous classifications–Sun-synchronous orbit: An orbit which combines altitude and inclination in such a way that the satellite passes over any given point of the earth surface at the same local solar time. Such an orbit can place a satellite in constant sunlight and is useful for imaging, spy, and weather satellites–geosynchronousorbitis an orbit around the Earth with an orbital period matching the Earth's sidereal rotation period.
