We discuss constraints for satellite gravity missions from a standpoint of current feasibility and cost driving aspects. Examples for constraints are the number of satellites, the kind of satellite orbits and the type of the link between the satellites. The merits and drawbacks of different satellite orbits and the impact of using a laser link between the satellites are analysed.Three proposed Future Missions are studied in more detail.
