(Public, NASDAQ:TSTR)
TerreStar Corporation’s recent launch of TerreStar-1, world’s largest communication satellite is progressing nicely through the critical stages, well on its way to reaching a geostationary orbit.
TerreStar 1 will be maneuvered into a circular geostationary orbit eventually parking itself above the equator at 111 degrees West longitude to cover the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite whose orbital track on the Earth repeats regularly over points on the Earth over time. If such a satellite’s orbit lies over the equator and the orbit is circular, it is called a geostationary satellite. The orbits of the satellites are known as the geosynchronous orbit and geostationary orbit. Another type of geosynchronous orbit is the Tundra elliptical orbit.
TerreStar-1 will soon offer and deploy a geosynchronous network offered to AT&T users with a base for roughly 300 million, a communication network based on communication with or through geosynchronous satellites.
Reflectors on the satellite are expected to open up as of Saturday, July 11, 2009.
