It is necessary to have at least three spacecraft if permanent high elevation coverage is needed for a large area like the whole of Russia where some parts are as far south as 45 ° N. If three spacecraft are used each spacecraft is active for periods of eight hours per orbit centered at apogee as illustrated in figure 9.

The orbits of the three spacecraft should then have the same apogee longitudes ( for example 90 ° W and 90 ° E ) but pass the apogee with eight hours shift ; i. e., the right ascensions of the ascending nodes should be separated with 120 °.
