of or having an orbit with a fixed period of 24 hours (although the position in the orbit may not be fixed with respect to the earth)
Source: WordNetA geostationary equatorial orbit (GEO) is a circular geosynchronous orbit in the plane of the Earth's equator with a radius of approximately convert (measured from the center of the Earth). Source: Internet
All geosynchronous and geostationary orbits have a semi-major axis of convert. Source: Internet
A geostationary orbit stays exactly above the equator, whereas a geosynchronous orbit may swing north and south to cover more of the Earth's surface. Source: Internet
A long cable would be dropped "downward" (toward Earth) and would be balanced by a mass being dropped "upward" (away from Earth) for the whole system to remain on the geosynchronous orbit. Source: Internet

AEHF-2 used a chemical engine to raise perigee to 10,150 miles and proceeded to geosynchronous orbit using electric propulsion. citation In Earth orbit GOCE ESA 's Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer was launched on March 16, 2009. Source: Internet
