ABSTRACT:
A geostationary satellite system includes an operational satellite and a spare or back-up satellite, characterized in that the spare or back-up satellite is located in a geostationary orbit (3) at the same mean longitude as the operational satellite, with the inclination and eccentricity of the spare or back-up satellite orbit (3) being non-zero, and with the apse line (4) of the spare or back-up satellite orbit (3) being close to, or coincident with, the node line, so that the spare or back-up satellite can be co-located with the operational satellite with minimal risk or collision or communications interference therewith.
