Apogee At Constant Time-Of-Day Equatorial (Ace) Orbit
Apogee At Constant Time-Of-Day Equatorial (Ace) Orbit
US Patent:
5326054, Jul 5, 1994
Filed:
Jan 21, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/146651
Inventors:
Andrew E. Turner - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Space Systems/Loral, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
B64G 110
US Classification:
244158R
Abstract:
A man-made satellite (1) traveling in an elliptical orbit. The orbit has five or six daily apogees, which are positioned above the same longitudes of the earth at substantially the same local time-of-day for each day of the year. The longitudes and times-of-day can be preselected subject only to the proviso that they be equispaced. The apsidal rotation rate in inertial space (ARRIS) of the orbit is substantially equal to the mean rate at which the earth revolves about the sun. The orbit is preferably equatorial, in order to simplify ground tracking and to maximize the impact of the apsidal rotation.
