41. All these are placed in polar Sun-synchronous orbit and provide data in a variety of spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. 42. SwissCube-1 is operating in a sun synchronous orbit with an perigee of and 98.28 degrees of inclination to the equator. 43. BeeSat-1 is operating in a sun synchronous orbit with an perigee of and 98.4 degrees of inclination to the equator. 44. A satellite around the almost spherical Venus, for example, will need an outside push to be in a sun-synchronous orbit . 45. WISE was launched into a sun-synchronous orbit by a Delta II on 14 December, and will be used for infrared astronomy. 46. Both Phase II DSCS communications satellites were placed in their proper near synchronous orbits , and the mission was a complete success. 47. It was launched 26 August 2005 at 18 : 34 UTC from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, and placed in a Sun-synchronous orbit of. 48. The result is not a synchronous orbit but a stable variation : In every revolution, Mercury rotates one and a half times. 49. The orbit of Ophelia is within the synchronous orbit radius of Uranus, and therefore the moon is slowly decaying due to tidal forces. 50. A satellite reaches a synchronous orbit when its orbit takes 24 hours, the duration the earth takes to rotate once on its axis.
