Talk:Areosynchronous orbit

Height
What height above Mars is this? This might be added to this article. Ergzay 18:15, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * ✅ The orbital altitude of an Areosynchronous orbit is approximately 17,000 km.  I have just added the info to the article, with a citation.  This would be a circular orbit for any Areosynchronous orbit, as well as for the subset of Areosynchronous orbits that are on the Martian equatorial plane; i.e., Areostationary orbits.  Cheers.

"areo"
Can anyone supply a reference to a scientist or engineer using the term "Areosynchronous orbit". There are only a few people who use terms like "seleno-" for the Moon, "are-" for Mars, and "herme-" for Mercury. The majority just use terms like "lunar geotherm." "Geometry of the surface of mars" "Martian Geodesy", etc. I find this (1) uninformative; and (2) pretentious. What is the term for Venus???

Perhaps "Martian synchronous orbit" or "Martian geosynchronous orbit" is more appropriate? I would have never found this page had I not seen the orbit navigation footer. Lunokhod 11:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You could consider creating a REDIRECT page entitled Martian synchronous orbit. The only trouble is, redirs to totally unsourced articles are frowned upon.  So it either case, some editor will have to find some sources for this info to stay in Wikipedia.  A quick look on Google scholar (at this URL) in Feb 2013 finds 34 scholarly references to Areosynchronous orbit.  Martian synchronous orbit gets only a single scholarly reference.
