Physically mode 7 is not possible unless there is a way for the satellite to propel itself with a large enough force to cancel out the gravity force while still have a component of force for the centripetal acceleration.
Hi, thanks for this short video, it helped me understand Geostationary Satelites better (finally). I have a question, is the Satelite in Mode 7 physically possible? I mean, with some kind of propulsion, could it be moved so that it is always above a certain point above or below the equatorial plane?

Very nice explanation sir ...
Thanks

yes, it is typically impossible if the satellite only use Earth's gravity for motion.
