Hi, I'm looking for some information about satellites that orbit around Earth. Like geocentric coordinates, average speed, .. I need all mission data!
Please, can somebody give me some link where I can find them?
Thanks in advance,
Mary.

http://www.planet4589.org/space/book/LO ... x/geo.htmlseems to have the information you need.
You probably should look at the existing geostationary satellite Addons for more information about the orbital parameters as used in Celestia. They're about half-way down the page at

The following link contain 23 types of data for each satellite
that including technical information about each satellite (mass, power, launch date, expected lifetime) and its orbit (apogee, perigee, inclination, and period

This is pretty interesting (and impressive). Maybe it's time to update the old satellites database for Celestia ?
