  • Abstract
    A novel constellation of low earth equatorial orbit (LEQ) satellites is proposed to provide continuous coverage for countries with maximum latitude limit of plusmn25deg. Analysis and computer simulation results show that for such coverage with a minimum elevation angle of 10deg, a maximum number of 16 LEQ satellites is required. The analysis presented in this paper is applicable to geographical locations within the given maximum latitude limit on the earth
