Abstract :
A class of medium-attitude communication-satellite systems which may established by multiple-satellite launch techniques is described. As the initial satellites fail they are replaced by satellites in slightly different orbits; the system thus evolves into one in which all satellites follow a common earth track. Multiple-access coverage is in consequence greatly improved.
