[amsat-bb] Re: sirius orbit name?

...

The Sirius birds are in an "Inclined Orbit".

Is this type of orbit can be a solution for the next HEO?

The reference to the Molniya orbit could be to recall the orbit of AO-13... slow high-altitude lingering Northern Hemisphere apogees, rotating ascending nodes about the globe to distribute coverage more evenly around the globe. Over the US, next over Europe, then over Asia. This was very popular at the time, and would likely be welcomed again.

I would suspect that a 'tundra-inclined orbit', fixed over the US as the Sirius Radio Sats are, would not be as internationally well supported. /;^)
