2.   An equatorial site also allows a satellite to be shot into geostationary orbit without having to change course.

3.   Blamont told the astronautical congress that the probe could sit in geostationary orbit until a window for a flight to Mars opened up.

4.   Guyana is close to the equator, which is the best place to launch satellites into geostationary orbit above the equator.

5.   India and Japan have launching facilities, but send up smaller payloads than those put into geostationary orbit by Ariane.

6.   They are in geostationary orbit, meaning they always stay over the same spot on the ground.

7.   To make things simple for customers on the ground, most communications satellites are placed in geostationary orbits.

8.   XM will fly two satellites in geostationary orbits so they will be available to North America at all times.

9.   Japanese media reported at the time of the unsuccessful launch that it would be virtually impossible to put the satellite into geostationary orbit.
