Suppose we have a "geostationary satellite" denoted "S"
relatively to which the "spin" and "angular energy" of the
Earth is zero, that's SOP for geostationary sats.

Next we launch an "anti-geostationary satellite" denoted
S' ,moving in the opposite direction of S, but in the exact
same plane. Relatively to the anti-geo-sat, S' , the Earth
spins (rotates) beneath it at a rate of twice per day.

Question, will the Radius of the orbit of satellite S denoted
as R, be equal to the Radius of satellite S' denoted R' ?

Yes. Why would it be different?

why do you ask?
