Okay, just for the record, every single page about the Cairo Station is technically complete. Anyone who has the time and/or resources is welcome to improve each page, but they all contain pretty much the same sections, so everything is really similar and it actually looks like we know what we're doing now. Now for THIS page... '''[[ | Okay, just for the record, every single page about the Cairo Station is technically complete.

The trivia seems to suggest that the Cairo is not actually above Egypt's capital. Why should it be?? So the MAC stations are named after prominent cities on Earth. Doesn't mean they have to be right over their namesake. If it wasn't commonly known, "geosynchronous" just means the station stays ina fixed position in orbit over a particular area on the surface of the Earth. It by no means implies Cairo Station has to be above Cairo, Egypt. Seems like too much of an assumption as well as a misunderstanding of the term "geosynchronous". -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 20:54, 30 August 2013 (EDT) | The trivia seems to suggest that the Cairo is not actually above Egypt's capital.

Another point on this, being in geosyncronous orbit precludes being over any of the locations that these stations are named for, as geosyncronous orbit occurs as a result of matching the Earth's angular rotation speed with the body's orbital angular speed. This is only possible when both are in the same direction. Based on the orientation shown, it appears to be implied that the battleclusters are collectively in a geosyncronous orbit, as they seem to be in a somewhat north-south orientation. | |||
On a somewhat related note, geosyncronous orbit in their apparent position should leave the New Mombassa space elevator's orbital station visible from the MAC platforms. | |||
