Geostationary Satellite Monitoring

Geostationary satellite monitoring involves placing satellites approximately 35,786 kilometers above Earth’s equator, where they rotate at the same speed as the planet. This allows them to stay fixed over a specific point on Earth, providing continuous, real-time observation of weather, climate, or communication signals in that region. They are essential for weather forecasting, disaster tracking, and global communications because they offer consistent coverage without the need for satellite repositioning. Their stable viewing position enables accurate, ongoing data collection, making them a vital tool for monitoring dynamic Earth systems efficiently.
