Geostationary Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Geostationary Height = Geostationary Radius-[Earth-R]
H_gso = R_gso-[Earth-R]
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Variables

Constants Used

[Earth-R] - Earth mean radius Value Taken As 6371.0088

Variables Used

Geostationary Height - (Measured in Meter) - Geostationary Height refers to the altitude at which a geostationary satellite is positioned above the Earth's equator.
Geostationary Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Geostationary Radius refers to the distance between the Earth's surface and a geostationary satellite in orbit around the Earth.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Geostationary Radius: 6752.8 Kilometer --> 6752800 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_gso = R_gso-[Earth-R] --> 6752800-[Earth-R]

Evaluating ... ...

What is difference between geostationary and geosynchronous orbit?

Geosynchronous satellites can have any inclination, the key difference to geostationary orbit is the fact that they lie on the same plane as the equator. Geostationary orbits fall in the same category as geosynchronous orbits, but it's parked over the equator.

How to Calculate Geostationary Height?

Geostationary Height calculator uses Geostationary Height = Geostationary Radius-[Earth-R] to calculate the Geostationary Height, The Geostationary Height formula is the orbital distance above the Earth's equator where a satellite orbits at the same speed as Earth's rotation, maintaining a fixed position relative to the ground. Geostationary Height is denoted by H_gso symbol.

How to calculate Geostationary Height using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Geostationary Height, enter Geostationary Radius (R_gso) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Geostationary Height calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.381791 = 6752800-[Earth-R].

FAQ

What is Geostationary Height?

The Geostationary Height formula is the orbital distance above the Earth's equator where a satellite orbits at the same speed as Earth's rotation, maintaining a fixed position relative to the ground and is represented as H_gso = R_gso-[Earth-R] or Geostationary Height = Geostationary Radius-[Earth-R]. Geostationary Radius refers to the distance between the Earth's surface and a geostationary satellite in orbit around the Earth.

How to calculate Geostationary Height?

The Geostationary Height formula is the orbital distance above the Earth's equator where a satellite orbits at the same speed as Earth's rotation, maintaining a fixed position relative to the ground is calculated using Geostationary Height = Geostationary Radius-[Earth-R]. To calculate Geostationary Height, you need Geostationary Radius (R_gso). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Geostationary Radius and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
