Greetings,

I'm new to the list and have a question regarding GEO sat's.
At what speeds do they travel?
I realize that relative to the earth at 22,000 miles they travel 0, but
let's say bring their orbit down to LEO, how fast would they be traveling?
17,500?
I was able to observe one in my homemade 10" telescope, very cool. Stars
move, Satellite doesn't.

Thanks in advance,
Bill
