Compared to the previous OSCARs, Es’hail-2 will be launched into a geostationary orbit. At an orbit height of 35786 km and an inclination of 0 degrees, the satellite will always be in the same position for the observer on Earth. In fact, Es’hail-2 naturally flies in a circular orbit around the Earth, but at a distance of almost 36000 km this corresponds to the rotational speed of the Earth. This has the great advantage that the antenna can be firmly aligned on the ground and an antenna rotor with continuous tracking is not necessary.
