Abstract :
Information pertinent to satellites maneuvering in the inclined orbit, along with various tracking techniques needed to access an inclined orbit satellite, are discussed. The benefits of leaving the satellite in the inclined orbit are discussed. A hybrid tracking system (HTS) for an inclined orbit satellite is suggested. The HTS technique is an adequate method to track a satellite operating in geosynchronous orbits and inclined orbits. This unit is economical and accurate. It can be used with small or larger antennas
