A special set of elliptical satellite orbits are described which allow preferential coverage of one parameter over another. According to a first modification, the orbits are retrograde, and preferentially cover one geographical location or time of day as compared with another. A second modification uses prograde orbits and allows the apogee of the orbit to be offset a constant amount with respect to the sun, to thereby cover a different time of day relative to the others. According to a special preferred mode of the invention, the apogee is always pointing towards the sun.

L'invention concerne un ensemble spécial d'orbites de satellites elliptiques permettant la couverture préférentielle d'un paramètre plutôt qu'un autre. Selon une première modification, les orbites sont rétrogrades et couvrent, de préférence, une zone géographique ou une heure du jour par rapport à une autre. Une deuxième modification, dans laquelle des orbites progrades sont utilisées, permet de décaler l'apogée de l'orbite d'une valeur constante par rapport au soleil et de couvrir une heure différente du jour par rapport aux autres. Dans un mode de réalisation spécial préféré, l'apogée est toujours pointé vers le soleil.
