 Supersynchronous orbit

A **supersynchronous orbit** refers to an orbital position that is above the geostationary orbit, which is approximately 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the Earth's equator. In a geostationary orbit, a satellite appears to remain in a fixed position relative to the Earth's surface, as it orbits the Earth at the same rotational speed. Supersynchronous orbits are those orbits that have a higher altitude than the geostationary orbit.
