That doesn't look like a geosynchronous orbit. It is too far south (not over the equator).
ReplyDeleteGeosynchronous is different from geostationary. A geosynchronous orbit is any orbit with an orbital period of 23 hours, 56 minutes (one sidereal day). A geostationary orbit is a geosynchronous orbit with eccentricity and inclination of 0 (e.g., circular and over the equator).
