Abstract

See full text

A constellation of Earth-orbiting spacecraft includes a first spacecraft disposed in a first orbit and a second spacecraft disposed in a second orbit. Each of the first orbit and the second orbit is substantially circular with a radius of approximately 42,164 km. The first orbit and the second orbit have a respective inclination with respect to the equator within a range of 5° to 20°. The first orbit has a first right ascension of ascending node (RAAN1) and the second orbit has a second RAAN (RAAN2) of approximately RAAN1+90°.
