What Does GEOS Stand For?
GEOS stands for Geostationary Earth Orbiting Satellite
GEOS, or Geostationary Earth Orbiting Satellite, refers to a type of satellite that maintains a fixed position relative to the Earth's surface. By orbiting at an altitude of approximately 35,786 kilometers above the equator, GEOS satellites rotate in sync with the Earth's rotation, allowing them to continuously monitor and communicate with specific areas. This stability makes them ideal for applications such as weather forecasting, telecommunications, and surveillance, as they provide consistent coverage and reliable data transmission.
