GSAT (Geostationary Satellites)

GSAT, or Geostationary Satellites, are satellites that orbit Earth at the same rate that the planet rotates, remaining fixed over a specific location on the equator. This allows them to provide consistent coverage over one area, making them ideal for communication, weather monitoring, and broadcasting. They orbit approximately 35,786 kilometers above Earth's surface and appear stationary relative to the ground, enabling reliable, continuous services without the need to track moving satellites. Their stable position simplifies ground equipment design and ensures uninterrupted data transmission for applications like television signals, internet, and weather forecasting.
