Language Translations for "SYNCHRONOUS SATELLITE"; alternative meanings/domain in parentheses.

Danish

  

satellitten kan enten vaere en satellit,der er i kredsloeb omkring jorden,og som passerer henover boreplatformen,eller det kan vaere en synkron satellit;en synkron satellit har noejagtig samme hastighed som jordens omdrejningshastighed,hvorved den synkron (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead pass or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references)

   

Dutch

  

de satelliet kan een om de aarde cirkelende satelliet zijn,die telkens over komt,of een synchrone satelliet;de snelheid van deze satelliet is precies gelijk aan de omwentelingssnelheid van de aarde,waardoor het lijkt of de synchrone satelliet een vaste (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead pass or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references)

   

French

  

le satellite peut être soit un satellite orbital effectuant des passages juste au-dessus du navire,soit un satellite synchrone(géosynchrone ou géostationnaire);le satellite synchrone se déplace une vitesse strictement identique la vitesse de rot (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references)

   

German

  

der Satellit kann entweder ein ueber das Objekt hinwegziehender umlaufender oder ein synchron laufender Satellit sein;der synchron laufende Satellit hat eine Umlaufgeschwindigkeit,die genau der Rotationsgeschwindigkeit der Erde entspricht,so dass der sync (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references)

   

Greek 

  

ο δορυφόρος μπορεί να είναι,είτε ένας τροχιακός δορυφόρος,που πραγματοποιεί διελεύσεις ακριβώς πάνω από το πλοίο,είτε ένας ισό-χρονος δορυ (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references)

   

Italian

  

il satellite puo essere orbitante,ed effettua dei passaggi giusto al di sopra della nave,o sincrono;il satellite sincrono ha una velocit esattamente uguale alla velocit di rotazione della terra,percio appare immobile nel cielo (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky). (various references)

Spanish

  

el satelite puede ser un satelite en orbita que pasa justamente sobre el barco,o puede ser un satelite sincrono;el satelite sincrono se desplaza a una velocidad exactamente igual a la velocidad de rotacion de la tierra,apareciendo asi como un satelite est (the satellite may be either an orbiting satellite making an overhead "pass" or it may be a synchronous satellite;the synchronous satellite has a velocity exactly equal to the earth's rotation speed, thus making the synchronous satellite appear motionless in the sky).
