Solution

  1. HEO satellites, or geostationary satellites, are positioned 35780 km above the surface of the Earth.
  2. A geostationary satellite can never travel over the polar regions since it rotates on the Earth’s equatorial plane.

Hence, geostationary satellites are not useful for studies of polar regions.
