Where’s the Real Launch Data?
The "text book" geostationary satellite launch data presented in Wikipedia and elsewhere on the internet, (assuming the GEO SATS are really up there, fixed above the equator), CANNOT BE the real launch data. The data they’ve put up has the assumption of a rotating earth added to their calculations; the problem is, these "text book" calculations, won't work. <<CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE WITH LAUNCH DATA>>Here’s how I know this:
If I ask you to fly an airplane from your runway in, say..., California to my runway in Florida, and I paint an X, on the runway, and I tell you to stop your plane on the X; how would you accomplish that? You cannot just, STOP, on that X, you would have to land, either, before the X, and brake and reverse thrust so that you could slowly approach the X, and gently stop on it; or, touch down on the X, brake reverse thrust, turn around and comeback and then park on the X. Correct?
Relative to your
runway, the X on my runway is “fixed”;
not moving up or down, side to side, or back and forth. Right?
The geostationary satellite position up above the equator
would also be “fixed” relative to its launch site. There’s no way that the "text book", launch data, (data
that shows the craft speeding up when it gets to the “X”, which is necessary to circularize an eliptical transfer orbit, could land on that “X”, (the fixed
geostationary position), without doing the same things
that my, example above, of the airplane landing on the X has to do.
I believe that if we could see the REAL launch figures, they
would show, what I’ve described for my airplane example. But they can’t do
that, they can’t give us those figures because we would see that the EARTH IS
NOT ROTATING. SOMEONE PROVE ME WRONG!
