Ptel's greatest hits: Well, first of all.. It's called a Molynia orbit which is a highly elyptical orbit. Second of all.. The use of the Molynia Orbit has several cost advantages to the operator. One of that being a higher overall signal level at the higher latitudes than that of a GSO based system. This Molynia orbit can allow SIRI to operate with fewer terrestrial repeaters than that of a GSO based system. So the higher average signal level from the space segment actually decreases the amount of processing or "soft handoff" between the satellites and the terrestrial repeaters Always good for a laugh!!!!
