What Does GEO Stand For?
GEO stands for Geostationary Earth Orbit
GEO, or Geostationary Earth Orbit, refers to a specific orbital position approximately 35,786 kilometers above the Earth's equator, where satellites maintain a fixed position relative to the Earth's surface. This allows for continuous communication and monitoring of a specific area, making GEO ideal for telecommunications, weather observation, and surveillance applications. In this orbit, satellites orbit the Earth at the same rotational speed as the planet, providing a stable platform for various technological services.
