[edit] Height

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

[edit] "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; what is the term for Veuns??? and (2) pretentious.

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)
