Landsat 7 orbit — the canonical modern Landsat orbit.

• Altitude: 705 km.
• Inclination: 98.2° (≈ 8° off polar).
• Period: ~99 min → 14.5 orbits/day.
• Sun-synchronous — crosses equator ~10:00 AM local on the descending node.
• Repeat cycle: 16 days.
• Consecutive ground tracks at the equator are 2 752 km apart (because Earth rotates between one orbit and the next).
