Polar Orbit

A satellite in polar orbit flies over the poles of a Planet (or another celestial body) with each revolution. It turns around a star with a high Inclinaison - near to 90 degrees - what makes it interesting for the observation of the Ground. Its altitude, generally rather low, borders the 700 kilometers.
