The method for synthesis of satellite orbits and constellations, optimized by given criterion
(minimum of required number of satellites in the constellation, or minimum revisit time, or …

The analytical model for Earth coverage by the satellites' swath conforming to essential of
discontinuous coverage, in contrast to continuous coverage, is presented. The analytic …

Basing on the theory results considered in the previous papers of the series for traditional
one-tiered constellation formed on the orbits with the same values of altitudes and …

Continuing the series of papers with description of the fundamentals of the Route Theory for
satellite constellation design, the general method for minimization of the satellite swath width …

This paper opens a series of articles expounding the fundamentals of the route theory for
satellite constellation design for Earth discontinuous coverage. In Part 1 of the series the …

The way to solve the problem of satellite constellation design was outlined in the 1960s,
recognizing the importance of satellite coverage (continuous or periodic) function and …

The way to solve the problem of satellite constellation design was outlined in the 1960s on

A short historical survey of satellite constellation design for continuous coverage is
presented. Comparison results of the major types circular orbit constellations for continuous …

For many years since the beginning of space era the satellite constellations, both for
continuous and discontinuous (periodic) Earth observation missions, have been designed …

An analytical technique for designing satellite constellations for operational global
monitoring of Earth's surface is presented. This technique makes it possible to calculate the …
