Geosynchronous Orbit
The Clarke Belt represents the position over the equator where an orbiting satellite will remain in a fixed position over the Earth, 22,300 miles (35,786 km) up. Hover over an orange dot to see the name of a satellite. Arthur Clarke suggested the usefulness of geosynchronous orbits in 1945.
