Talk:List of satellites in geosynchronous orbit

message: I see theres a comment above on this, but should satellites which are not operational be listed? Astra 1B is -in theory- in service at 19.2E, but its not carried any content for the past few years, and has drifted quite significantly. It is being officially retired soon (and should be removed then), but should it be removed now, as it not actually operational? --Kiand 19:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Making this list sortable would add a lot of value: by longitude, by name, by country, launch date, etc. Unfortunately we can't simply apply the "sortable" attribute due to the hard-coded subdivisions. I recommend 1) moving the "In Transit" and "Historical" sections into separate table(s), 2) removing the hemisphere dividers, and 3) converting the longitude (Location) to signed notation, ie, replace E/W suffixes with +/- values. Making Location the default sort column would then result in the same hard-coded order that the table currently has.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisNoe (talk • contribs) 13:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

message: If there was any mention, anywhere, of the orbit of the satallites. That might be important. Might be usefull to know if they're at 50 miles, 500 miles, or 5 million miles. Could effect the usefulness of the sats.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.246.120.123 (talk) 01:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Most (if not all) of the satellites listed are going to be approximately 35,786 km above the surface of the earth in Geostationary orbit --KC0ZHQ (talk) 19:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  You know what would actually be USEFUL? 

message: From elsewhere on Wikipedia:
equatorial radius of Earth Re = 6378.1 km and
Geostationary orbit altitude A = 35786 km asl.
Therefore a circular orbit would have circumference C = Pi * (Re + A) and one degree of arc = C / 360 = 367.95 km.  The dubious figure was possibly a typo.

thread_title:  Total number of satellites 

message: Why are launch date and rocket type in the same column? They seem rather unrelated. Please advise or split them. Thanks. Cody.berdinis (talk) 05:36, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Launch Date / Rocket 

message: There seems to be quite a few satellites with blank "type" boxes. Are the types of these satellites unknown, or are there too many uses to list here? Cody.berdinis (talk) 05:40, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing data 

message: The "In Transit" section needs updating. I would move the satellites to the right spot, but I am not sure how. As well, a description for what "in transit" means needs to be added above to chart. Thanks for the help. Cody.berdinis (talk) 05:48, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

message: It would seem useful to add the transmitter power, at least for ones related to television signals. Maybe not needed for spy satellites. Gah4 (talk) 22:52, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
