Orbital positioning of domestic satellites
Orbital positioning of domestic satellites
An important factor in establishing domestic or regional communication satellite systems which share a given frequency band is the positioning of the satellites in the arc of the geostationary orbit that is visible to the area to be served. A description is given of the results of orbit spacing studies performed with respect to the eight different space systems proposed to provide U.S. domestic communication services. Some tentative guidelines which may be of general use are proposed. Four sets of computer models were studied, taking into account quasi-homogeneous models, a five-system model, a heterogeneous model with 3-degree spacings, and a heterogeneous model with unequal spacings and with coordination.
