More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a combined earth satellite facility for global telecommunication coverage and/or position finding, comprising at least 18 earth satellites on geostationary earth orbits and on elliptical orbits with high orbital inclination with respect to the equator, which describe geostationary position loops on the celestial hemisphere. By also using existing telecommunications, weather and/or research satellites, or such which are still to be placed on these orbits, it is not necessary to set up a satellite system for position finding only.
