Hi Doug -- you are very close to the correct altitude of ~3167 km (~1.4965 * earth equatorial radius). I'm now working through the math to figure out the latitude on earth where you age the slowest. ;-) --Rob -Original Message- From: MexicoDoug [mailto:mexicod...@aol.com] Sent:

Hi Rob and the other meteoroidal travelers, I'd say a good mean altitude for government work would be about half of Earth's radius, and that ought to smooth out any technicalities to gain an understanding of the magnitudes which is what is interestng about the new question. A shortcut to

For the satellite, it varies according to the gravity field it flies over. Technically none exists because the gravity field is never constant. It dithers. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 21, 2016, at 2:01 AM, Matson, Rob D. via Meteorite-list wrote: Hi

Hi Doug, I think you would have come up with the correct answer if I had given a more precise value for the clock slow down relative to a stationary clock in deep space: it should be 0.69693 parts per billion relative to a clock at sea-level on the earth's equator, or 60.2 microseconds per day.
