[edit] Remaining problems with the article
- Not 90 degrees relative to the viewpoint of someone standing on the planet's equator!
- Not a different longitude everytime necessarily. A satellite with the same orbital period as the rotational period of the planet will pass over the same spot every time. And an integer multiple of the period...
- AND the longitude of the satellite precesses (sp) during every orbit. So the longitude is not the same suring one orbit nevermind two successive.
