摘要：A satellite-based telecommunications system comprises a constellation of

satellites in circular, sun-synchronous orbits (8) at specific altitudes and inclination angles

so as to orbit the earth (10) an integer number of times per solar day. These orbits (8)

are unique in that any given satellite in the constellation services the same region on

earth at the same time every day. Hence, the capacity of each satellite can be tailored to

meet time of day dependent peak traffic requirements characteristic of cellular

communications. In addition, if any one satellite in the constellation experiences a surge in

cellular traffic at the same time each day to the point of reaching capacity saturation,

only that particular satellite needs to be replaced with a larger capacity satellite in order

for the constellation to continue to meet current demands.
