Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Transmitting or receiving TV signals
- The Sun-Synchronous Orbit or SSO is a polar orbit around earth.
- It is synchronous to the sun which means that it is at a fixed position with respect to the sun.
- It means the satellite always passes over a particular area on the earth at approximately the same local time.
- This arrangement enables the satellite to take pictures with almost the same intensity of light.
- Applications: Remote sensing and Groundwater Surveys, spying work for military purposes, and forest cover surveys.
- For transmitting or receiving TV signals satellites are parked in geostationary orbit which is at an altitude of 35,800km above the equator.
Hence option C is the right answer.
