There are two different types of Weather Satellites
Geosynchronus Low Earth Orbit - Polar orbiting Orbiting in the Clarke Belt - these satellites orbit the Earth in 24 hours, appearing to stay in one place all the time. (In fact, a small figure 8 is usually set up to keep the orbit stable.) From this elevation, close to 50% of the Earth can be seen. Reception of these satellites takes a bit more complex receiver and antenna. Orbiting close to the Earth - typically in a 98 degree inclination orbit. They cover every place on the planet 2 - 4 times a day. Receiving signals from these satellites as they pass overhead is relatively easy. We are receiving them at Ka'u High School- See the latest ImagesGOES - METEOSAT / EUMETSAT - GMS - GOMS - Kalapana Meteor (Russia) - FengYuan (China) - POES / NOAA (USA)
