Summary

Description
English: Comparison of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and COMPASS (medium Earth orbit satellites) orbits with International Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope, geostationary and graveyard orbits, and the nominal size of the Earth.


For this diagram, the 3-dimensional aspect of orbits have been flattened. For instance, the view of the Earth depicted is looking down to the North Pole which makes the orbit representations appear to be equatorial. While this is accurate for geostationary orbits, other orbits listed are actually at significant inclinations. The inclination of Iridium orbits is at 86.4° which is nearly perpendicular to the diagrammed plane. Looking down to the North Pole from this zenith, a polar orbit of 90° inclination would actually appear as a straight line.
Français : Comparaison des orbites GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Iridium et Beidou avec celles de la Station spatiale internationale et Hubble ainsi que l'orbite géostationnaire, l'orbite de rebut et la taille de la Terre.


Pour ce diagramme, l'aspect tridimensionnel des orbites a été ignoré : tout est aplati. La Terre est représentée avec le pôle Nord au centre, ce qui fait que les orbites semblent équatoriales. Ceci est correct dans le cas des orbites géostationnaires, mais les autres sont en réalité inclinées. Les satellites Iridium sont le cas le plus extrême, avec 86,4° d'inclinaison, les plaçant presque à la perpendiculaire du plan représenté. Si leur orbite était représentée de façon fidèle, nous ne verrions qu'une ligne droite sur ce diagramme.
