This article incorrectly suggests that an inclined orbit is also geosynchronous. That is not the case: the term "inclined" refers to the fact that the orbit exhibits an angle other than zero degrees with the equator. JanCeuleers 19:02, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Applied my own suggestion; demoted the existing text to a special case section; added "approximately" in front of geostationary radius. As a result I have withdrawn my accuracy dispute. JanCeuleers 12:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Inclined Orbit and Orbital Inclination edit

There's already an article called Orbital inclination which seems to cover the same info in more detail. Anyone object to merging them and deleting this one? SpaceInnovader (talk) 01:06, 28 March 2018 (UTC

Reworked article, Orbital Inclination still far more useful through SpaceInnovader (talk) 01:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

This page appears to be an attempt to be a simplified article that covers some useful common inclined orbits. The List of orbits page is quite technical but seems to be the kitchen sink (catch all) of orbits. This page is missing HEO and could use more detail on IGEO orbits. It has merit as a small simplified article on common orbits. It does have some duplication but links well to pages with details on each orbit type. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zygerth (talk • contribs) 19:05, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
