Most of the world's satellite communications employ satellites in the geostationary orbit, for ease of tracking by the ground stations, and the ability to realize coverage of the populated regions of the globe with a set of three satellites. Geostationary satellites, however, afford poor visibility and degraded performance in the northern zones. This area is extensive and it is of strategic military importance. Satellites in the non-geostationary orbits can provide the required coverage in the north. The use of non-geostationary satellites is examined for tactical communication for NATO, their orbits, and implications for on-board processing.
