Geostationary Orbit For Mars

So the answer is 17,100 km, or about half the altitude required for earth (35,700 km).

In miles:
Earth: 22,183 miles
Mars: 10,625 miles
 
Tricky question.
Because a name of the orbit will be marsstationary.

I thought the Greek prefix of "geo" meant earth in a generic sense, as in land or dirt, etc.

What is the study of geology called if the study is being undertaken on Mars? Is it no longer geology if their studying Martian soil and rocks as opposed to Earth materials?
 
So if Man were to live on Mars someday, Satellite broadband would not have as many latency issues and the satellite signals would be different as well since the satellites would be closer to the surface and it would not take as long to launch a satellite.
 
I don't know about living there.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact it's cold as hell.
 
wonder if a genetically engineered specific lichen or something could warm things up and free up or add oxygen?

there have been landslides and might be water, just under the surface.. water means oxygen and hydrogen:)

a almost sync orbit could be nice for long term surface observation and comm sats for surface work

IIRC, it was the intense application of heat that led to our own planet establishing an atmosphere. Perhaps we should nuke Mars.
 
The biggest problem is that Mars doesn't have a magnetosphere to deflect the solar winds. This erodes the martian atmosphere over the aeons. This is why Mars has such a thin atmospnere now.

See ya
