Time of Day 10:30 am (Local)
Example of a sun-synchronous polarorbit with an orbital altitude of 705 kmabove the Earth’s surface, an orbital peri-od of 98.9 minutes, resulting in 14.3orbits per day, and an orbital inclinationof 98.2° at the Equator. Sun-synchronousorbits are specified in terms of the time ofday they cross the equator on the sunlitside of the orbit (10:30 am local time inthis Terra example).
