[amsat-bb] strange orbit

[G8IFF/KC8NHF <nigel@xxxxxxxxx>]

 >>> And we're doing it with satellites. Every second of the day, SIRIUS 
is shooting *over 120 channels of amazing radio* straight into the 
heavens to our three state-of-the-art satellites that rotate in figure 
eight, geo-synchronous orbits around the earth. <<<

Would someone care to explain a figure of eight geo-synchronous orbit 
around the earth that doesn't crash twice every orbit?
