Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻‍💻🧬<p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>China</span></a> launches first <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/geosynchronous" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>geosynchronous</span></a> orbit <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/radar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>radar</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/satellite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>satellite</span></a><br />The L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite will provide all-day, all-weather observation of China and surrounding areas, boosting the country&#39;s disaster prevention, reduction, and relief capabilities. It is not yet known what orbital scheme the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LandExploration4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LandExploration4</span></a> (01) satellite will enter. The (01) designation suggests China could launch other SAR satellites into geosynchronous orbits. <br /><a href="https://spacenews.com/china-launches-first-geosynchronous-orbit-radar-satellite/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">spacenews.com/china-launches-f</span><span class="invisible">irst-geosynchronous-orbit-radar-satellite/</span></a></p>

llewelly<p>random thought about geosynchronous weather satellites and the 2029 close approach of 99942 Apophis: has there been any investigation for risks Apophis might present to geosynchronous weather satellites at that close approach? It is currently forecast to come closer than geosynchronous orbit. My guess is that the odds of an actual collision are small, but if anyone has done a good physics analysis I'd like to know.</p><p><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/wx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wx</span></a><br><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/geosynchronous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geosynchronous</span></a><br><a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/goes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>goes</span></a></p>
