Abstract
There is no absolute stationary orbit for the geostationary satellite to reside in. Special attention we pay in this chapter to the geostationary satellite’s relative motion to the Earth’s rotation motion. We will illustrate the orbit motion of real geostationary satellite with the rotational Earth in inertial space.
