The future, then, looks bounded by that new outer limit of planet Earth, the geostationary orbit.

那么，未来看来要被限制在地球的新的外边界之内，即同步轨道。

Low Earth orbit, geostationary orbit, sun-synchronous orbit, or polar orbit?

是在低地球轨道、地球静止轨道、太阳同步轨道，还是极地轨道？

Current designs estimate that it would take about 8 days to elevate an object into geostationary orbit.

照现在的设计，预估大约需要八天才能将一物体抛上地球同步轨道。

It will produce thrust Such as spacecraft could climb to a geostationary orbit above.

它将产生，航天器能够爬升到地球同步轨道之上。

And we're able to do that because we're in this special orbit called geostationary orbit.

我们能够做到这一点，是因为我们处于一称为地球静止轨道的特殊轨道上。

Well, yes, this is geostationary orbit.

是的，这是地球同步轨道。

It's coming from low earth orbit or medium earth orbit or geostationary orbit.

信号可能来自低地球轨道、中地球轨道或地球静止轨道。

And I think we have settled on it coming from geostationary orbit.

我认为我们已经确定它来自地球同步轨道。

Objects at this specific distance are in geostationary orbit, meaning they revolve around Earth at the same rate the planet spins, thus appearing motionless in the sky.

处在这特定距离下的物体，同时也处在地球同步轨道上，意味着它们绕行地球的速率和地球自转相同，因此它们在天空中的位置看起来静止不动。

You've got like low Earth orbits, then you've got like geostationary orbit, you've got all of these different bands and they were just like at the very legal limit of what space is.

你有近地轨道， 然后是地球同步轨道，还有所有这些不同的轨道带， 而他们正好处于太空定义的法定极限。

These mechanisms would require huge amounts of electricity, which could be provided by solar panels or potentially even nuclear systems. Current designs estimate that it would take about 8 days to elevate an object into geostationary orbit.

这些机制需要大量的电，这些电可以由太阳能电池板甚至核系统提供。目前的设计估计，将物体提升到地球静止轨道大约需要 8 天。

And so if you've gone down to those candidates, you said in particular you thought it was one in geostationary orbit, in other words, one that's sort of hanging over a particular part of the equator, is that right?

因此， 如果你已经查看了那些候对象，你特别提到认为其中一位于地球同步轨道上，换句话说， 就是悬停在赤道某特定区域的卫星，是这样吗？
