Geosat, or Geostationary Satellite, refers to a type of satellite that is placed in geostationary orbit, approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the Earth's equator. Satellites in this orbit have a rotational period that matches the Earth's rotation, allowing them to remain fixed over a specific point on the Earth's surface.
