- Intermediate Circular Orbit is not a standard orbital classification. - Polar orbits cover regions from pole to pole. - Orbital period in LEO is typically around 90-120 minutes. - Non-geostationary satellites orbit over both day and night sides of Earth.
Which of the following statements are correct regarding orbits? 1. In Intermediate Circular Orbit, the satellites move around Earth from pole to pole 2. It takes approximately 99 minutes to complete an Orbit 3. During one half of the Orbit, the satellite views the daytime and night time side of the Earth.
