The main aspects of possible technical solutions in terms of mission characteristics, showing the critical drawbacks in utilizing high elliptical orbits for the satellite system configuration developed under ESA contracts, are presented. The results show that despite the singularity of these orbits, their use allows some advantages mainly related to avoid shadowing effects and to increase the gain of the mobile antenna, sensibly improving the link conditions. Apart from voice communications services, other potential applications of such a system are envisaged, in an attempt to improve the attractiveness of the Archimedes project.
