ABSTRACT:
A satellite telecommunications and remote sensing system including a plurality of satellites arranged above the Earth in short-period elliptical sun-synchronous orbits which have the following Keplerian parameters: an orbit inclination of 116.6.degree. on an equatorial plane of the Earth, a daily rotation of a nodal line of 0.9863.degree., an orbital period selected such that N orbital periods fit into M sidereal days, any desired argument of perigee and any desired value of the right ascension of the ascending node.
