The zero gravity curve and surface and radii for geostationary and geosynchronous satellite orbits
Journal of Geodetic Science, 2017 A geosynchronous satellite orbits the Earth along a constant longitude. A special case is the geostationary satellite that is located at a constant position above the equator.

Displaced geostationary orbits using hybrid low-thrust propulsion [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper, displaced geostationary orbits using hybrid low-thrust propulsion, a complementary combination of Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) and solar sailing, are investigated to increase the capacity of the geostationary ring that is starting to ...

Geocentric Spherical Surfaces Emulating the Geostationary Orbit at Any Latitude with Zenith Links
Future Internet, 2020 According to altitude, the orbits of satellites constellations can be divided into geostationary Earth orbit (GEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations.

Light levitated geostationary cylindrical orbits are feasible [PDF]
, 2010 This paper discusses a new family of non-Keplerian orbits for solar sail spacecraft displaced above or below the Earth's equatorial plane. The work aims to prove the assertion in the literature that displaced geostationary orbits exist, possibly to ...
