sun-synchronous orbit

Samos-2 was the first satellite to enter a sun-synchronous orbit.

The satellite is scheduled to be launched into a sun-synchronous orbit.

The sun-synchronous orbit is used to keep the solar cells illuminated at all times.

The spacecraft was placed in a sun-synchronous orbit of 101.4 inclination.

Some of our tiny pico-satellites try to stay in "sun-synchronous orbit", always over the day/night line on the Earth below them.

But Venus, for example, is too spherical to have a satellite in sun-synchronous orbit.

This period combined with the sun-synchronous orbit would have the satellite pass over the whole surface of the planet twice a day.

Sun-synchronous orbits are possible around other oblate planets, such as Mars.

The California satellite took up a Sun-synchronous orbit at 97.9 degrees around a thousand kilometers.

IMS-1 is an Earth observation satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit.

The satellites in the FY-1 series are polar-orbiting sun-synchronous orbits.

The program looked both at systems in sun-synchronous orbit and geosynchronous orbit.

The spacecraft will have a ground sampling distance of 1 meter at 600 km in a sun-synchronous orbit.

The closest would be the sun-synchronous orbits that maintain a constant angle between the sun and orbital plane.

A circular Sun-synchronous orbit satisfied all these requirements.

It travels a sun-synchronous orbit, passing a given longitude at 10:30 AM local time.

Earth-observing satellites may also be launched into a sun-synchronous orbit, which is slightly retrograde.

KH-11 satellites are in either of two standard planes in Sun-synchronous orbits.

It is in a polar, sun-synchronous orbit, meaning it scans across the entire earth's surface.

The satellite is in a sun-synchronous orbit with an ascending node time of about 9 AM.

Such orbits are called dawn-dusk orbits, a type of Sun-synchronous orbit.

Since sun-synchronous orbits are polar, the polar regions are common crossing points.

The satellites will be launched in a near-polar, sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of approximately 830 km.

This nodal progression enables sun-synchronous orbits to maintain approximately constant angle relative to the Sun.

It was originally built as a specialised version of the earlier Vostok-2, for injecting lighter payloads into higher sun-synchronous orbits.
