Ike is a moon and the only natural satellite of Duna.

Synchronous orbit around Ike is not possible — it would require an altitude of 0.00 m, outside of Ike's sphere of influence. However, since Ike and Duna are tidally locked to each other, a spacecraft in synchronous orbit around Duna will see Ike in a stable, non-rotating position, as it would be in a synchronous orbit.
