That answers my first question.

To achieve this you have to in the orbit radius that gives an orbit time

exactly the same as the length of day of the point on the planet below.

And that answers the second question.

This I knew, notice I never mention ship mass.

All of this I was aware of as well.  I was merely wondering how 
Geosynchronous was achieved - apparently from what you said it is
dependent 
on what diostance you orbit at.  That's all I really needed.  Thanks.
