The constellation magnitude is always the primary concern for a practical Space-base Radar (SBR) system, especially the ones using low-earth orbit (LEO). To control the constellation magnitude, the overlap between the sensor footprints should be minimized. In the special case of an asymmetric footprint in SBR scenario, we introduced a slope geometry to optimize the constellation of polar orbit, and the estimation of the magnitude is presented. An example constellation is given to confirm the analysis.
