Question

(a) When a communication satellite is placed in a geosynchronous orbit above the equator, it remains fixed over a given point on the ground. Is it possible to put a satellite into an orbit so that it remains fixed above the north pole? Explain. 

(b) Rockets are launched into space from Cape Canaveral in an easterly direction. Is there an advantage to launching to the east versus launching to the west? Explain. 

(c) If you light a candle on the International Space Station (which would not be a good idea) would it burn the same as on the earth? Explain.
