SYNTHETICALLY RECREATING THE GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE ORBITAL ARC ARRAY WITH PREFERRED ELLIPTICAL ORBIT PARAMETERS

摘要

System and method to utilize a plurality of satellites arrayed in inclinedelliptical orbitarcs to provide synthetic geostationary communications with the earth,utilizing;overlapping active transmission portions of repeatable ground tracks,preferred orbitalseparation or spacing to maximize communication link throughput performanceandefficiency, preferred inclined elliptical orbit parameters, and methods toincrementallyfurnish supplemental capacity during peak demand or usage periods.
