To use a satellite for communication relay or repeater purposes what type of orbit will be the best?(a) Circular orbit(b) Elliptical orbit(c) Geosynchronous orbit(d) Triangular orbitThis question was posed to me at a job interview.The above asked question is from Satellite Orbits topic in chapter Satellite Communication of Avionics

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) GEOSYNCHRONOUS orbit

Best explanation: The best SOLUTION is to launch a synchronous or GEOSTATIONARY satellite. In a geosynchronous earth orbit. Since the satellite remains apparently fixed, no special earth station tracking antennas are REQUIRED. The antenna is simply pointed at the satellite and remains in a fixed position. With this ARRANGEMENT, continuous communication is possible.
