===Inclination=== A geosynchronous orbit can have any inclination. Satellites commonly have an inclination of zero, ensuring that the orbit remains over the equator at all times, making it stationary with respect to latitude from the point of view of a ground observer (and in the [[ECEF]] reference frame).<ref name="smad"/>{{rp|122}} Another popular inclinations is 63.4Β° for a Tundra orbit, which ensures that the orbit's [[argument of perigee]] does not change over time.<ref name="scs"/>
