What is a Geostationary Satellite?
Tauraron dan adam na ƙasa wani tauraron dan adam ne na wucin gadi wanda ke kewaya Duniya a daidai lokacin da Duniyar ke juyawa, wanda hakan ke sa ta yi kama da wacce ba ta da tabbas idan aka kwatanta da wani wuri da aka saita a ƙasa. Wannan siffa ta musamman ana samun ta ne ta hanyar sanya tauraron dan adam a cikin wani yanayi na ƙasa kai tsaye sama da ma'aunin duniya, a tsayin kusan kilomita 35,786 (mil 22,236). Marubucin almarar kimiyya Arthur C.

Understanding Orbits and the Geostationary Position
Domin fahimtar abin da ya sa tauraron ɗan adam na ƙasa ya zama na musamman, yana da mahimmanci a fahimci muhimman abubuwan da ke tattare da makanikan kewaya duniya. Tauraron dan adam suna zagayawa Duniya saboda jan nauyi da duniyar ke yi. Saurin da tauraron dan adam ke yi don kiyaye zagaye mai ƙarfi ya dogara ne akan tsayinsa. Zagayen wurare masu ƙasa suna buƙatar ƙarin gudu don magance jan nauyi mai ƙarfi, yayin da zagayen wurare masu girma suna buƙatar saurin gudu a hankali.
Wata hanyar kewayar ƙasa (GEO) tana cikin wani wuri mai daɗi inda lokacin kewayar ƙasa - lokacin da ake ɗauka don kammala cikakken zagaye ɗaya a kewayen Duniya - ya yi daidai da lokacin juyawar Duniya, wanda shine awanni 24. Musamman ma, wannan zagayen yana cikin sararin equator kuma yana zagaye Duniya a nisan kilomita 35,786 (mil 22,236) sama da matakin teku. A wannan tsayin, saurin kusurwar tauraron ɗan adam ya yi daidai da juyawar Duniya, yana mai sa ta bayyana a tsaye a kan wani wuri na musamman.
The Historic Milestone
Arthur C.

Clarke ya yi hasashen hanyar sadarwa ta irin waɗannan tauraron dan adam waɗanda za su iya kawo sauyi ga sadarwa ta duniya ta hanyar samar da ci gaba, abin dogaro, da kuma yaɗuwa. Hangen nesa ya bayyana a cikin shekarun 1960 tare da ƙaddamar da tauraron dan adam na farko na sadarwa na kasuwanci, Intelsat I, wanda aka fi sani da Early Bird, wanda aka sanya shi a cikin sararin samaniya a cikin 1965.
Applications of Geostationary Satellites
Telecommunications and Broadcasting
Ɗaya daga cikin manyan amfani da tauraron dan adam na geostationary shine a fannin sadarwa. Matsayinsu na dindindin dangane da saman Duniya yana ba da damar haɗin sadarwa mai ɗorewa da ci gaba. Wannan ya sa suka dace da nau'ikan watsa shirye-shirye daban-daban, gami da talabijin, rediyo, da ayyukan intanet.
