This groups includes about 200 communication satellites ("comsats") scattered in synchronous orbits above the Earth's equator. ... 6 Earth radii (42,000 km or 26,000 miles), these satellite make one orbit per day, and therefore as the Earth turns, they always stay above the same ground station. ... Still another application is the 24-satellite network of the "Global Positioning System" (GPS), in circular orbits at distances of about 4.1 Earth radii (26,000 km or 16,000 miles). ...
