Talk:Highly Elliptical Orbit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

[edit] 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 [1]). 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)
