This is where the Shuttle and ISS conduct their operations. One complete orbit in LEO takes about 90 minutes. Satellites that seem to be attached to some location on Earth are in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO). These satellites orbit about 23,000 miles above the equator and complete one revolution around the Earth precisely every 24 hours. Satellites headed for GEO first go to an elliptical orbit with an apogee about 23,000 miles.
The speed of light is equal to approximately 186,000 miles per second. Geosynchronous-Earth-orbit satellites are found 22,300 miles from Earth and are always positioned over t â¦ he same point on Earth. The signal has to go to the satellite which is 22,300 miles up, and then back to Earth which is 22,300 miles back.So the total distance traveled is 44,600 miles. To get the amount of time it takes simply do 44,600/186,000 = approximately .23978 seconds.Or you could say 239.78 milliseconds.eosynchronous-Earth-orbit satellites are found 22,300 miles from Earth and are always positioned over t â¦ he same point on Earth.
