Eclipse Season Geostationary Satellites Launched. During the eclipse season, as these periods are known, spacecraft must use batteries up to 72 minutes each day. An eclipse season is one of only two periods during each year when the sun, the moon and earth are aligned, allowing eclipses to occur.
The positions of satellites in geostationary orbits can be characterized by their longitude, the longitude of a point on earth’s equator that is nadir to the spacecraft. (2023, 2033, 2028, 2034, 2038).
