- addaon 4y agoThere's not that many satellites outside of GEO, and even those that go beyond are usually not circularized (e.g. Molniya orbits), so tend to have shorter periods. Unless you count things in GEO graveyard orbits (which rise very, very slowly in the west -- their orbit is just slightly less than synchronous), I can't think of a significant population of artificial satellites that orbit slower than earth rotates.
