WRC-23 Agenda Item 7 topic A is intended to define the orbit tolerances on the space station of non-GSO FSS (Fixed Satellite Service), BSS (Broadcasting Satellite Service), or MSS (Mobile Satellite Service) systems. This study examines the variation of orbital characteristics, for the Starlink satellite constellation and OneWeb satellite constellation during their operation in orbit, which encompasses 3,286 satellites from the Starlink constellation out of a total of 4,378, and it also examined 503 satellites from the OneWeb constellation out of a total of 636. The results of this study show a relatively small variation in orbital tolerance for three orbital elements (inclination, altitude of perigee, and altitude of apogee) of the satellites in the two constellations.
