11. Thirty minutes after the satellite separated from the rocket, it had entered its geo-synchronous orbit . 12. This nodal progression enables Sun-synchronous orbits to maintain approximately constant angle relative to the Sun. 13. It currently has capability to launch 1, 678 kg to 622 km into Sun-synchronous orbit . 14. The satellite was successfully placed into a sun-synchronous orbit . 15. It is in a polar, sun-synchronous orbit , meaning it scans across the entire earth's surface. 16. Electron is capable of delivering payloads of 150 kg to a 500 km Sun-synchronous orbit . 17. HAMSAT was placed into a polar sun synchronous orbit . 18. The SMAP observatory includes a dedicated spacecraft and instrument suite in a near-polar, Sun-synchronous orbit . 19. A circular Sun-synchronous orbit satisfied all these requirements. 20. All around him stylists buzz in synchronous orbit .
