Limitations, related to solar aspect angle, which are dictated by thermal and energy supply requirements as well as by orbital position measurement criteria are considered. Furthermore, it is necessary that shadow periods do not exceed a given duration, while in the vicinity of the apogee there must be no shadow at all. Calculations are shown for a typical spin stabilized configuration. Although for no particular spacecraft, the results given can be taken as representative conditions for this class of problem.
