[amsat-bb] Re: sirius orbit name?

The Sirius birds are in an "Inclined Orbit". It's explained more in the WikiPedia entry, about half way down the page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius_radio

Hi all, What, if any, is the name given to the type of orbit that the three "Sirius" broadcast satellites use? It shows as a figure-eight and altitude is between 24000KM, and 47000KM.
