@HondaFife It works the same way explained in this video, but geostationary satellites generally have to be much higher up than conventional (just over 22,000 miles) to overcome the gravitational pull from earth where they are travelling nearly 2 miles/p/s. What you must remember is that a satellite in a successful orbit is always falling back towards earth, but never getting any closer, otherwise it would not have a curved orbit but travel in a straight line. Anyways, enough of me babbling.
How does the centrifugal effect work on a geo stationary satellite?
