Stationary satellite planned by Hughes Aerospace
Hughes Aircraft says a cylindrical satellite designed to hover over a fixed point on Earth could provide continuous worldwide television. The 500 pound craft would orbit at 22300 miles altitude, matching Earth's rotation to appear stationary, potentially viewing about a third of the planet. Experimental versions are to be launched next year, with a full system possibly covering the globe using 40 to 50 low altitude satellites.
