Talk:Highly elliptical orbit

Untitled
This article is about highly elliptical orbit but named High Earth orbit. --Iirolaiho 06:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Misleading Redirection
I would suggest to remove the redirection from High Earth Orbit (or replace it by an article) as that term describes a totally different kind of orbit, namely an orbit outside the geosynchronous orbit (see here ). I remember vaguely to have read about military satellites (for observation of atmospheric space nuclear tests) that have almost circular orbits of about 100,000 km, i.e. nearly three times as far as geosynchronous satellites. Nobody would call them "highly elliptical orbits".--SiriusB 12:33, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

You are referring to the Vela program. Agree, with your comments. BTW - Molniya is Russian for lightning ;>) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.46.200.232 (talk) 20:55, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Missing image
"The image shows ..."

The image was deleted two revisions ago. Can a suitable replacement be found? Perhaps the image at the top of Molniya_orbit. 98.248.161.17 (talk) 08:07, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
