Russia's Elektro-L No.2 is among the world's highest-resolution geostationary weather satellites, with full-disk images at 0.6-mile visible resolution. Stationed at 76°E over Siberia, it covers Russia's vast territory from a fixed point — the only practical way to watch weather across 5 time zones from a single geostationary position.
