It therefore has an inclination of (or very close to) 90 degrees to the equator. A satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different longitude on each of its orbits.A satellite can hover over one polar area much of the time, albeit at a large distance, using a polar highly elliptical orbit with its apogee above that area."@en }
