Fuel savings Mr A, if Globalstar puts up another couple of constellations over the next 5 years there would be heaps of satellites in view. The nature of CDMA is that it can be expanded very easily thanks to the soft handoff nature of the system. Maybe the orbits could be allowed to become random when there are enough satellites in orbit to maintain statistical coverage of any point on earth. Each satellite could wander around anywhere it likes. Attitude control would still be needed to keep beams pointing to the ground, but not orbit control. That should save a lot of fuel and increase satellite life. With Zenits blasting a dozen at a time around 900 km high, we could have a huge constellation in a few years time with very long lives due to fuel saving. Big photovoltaic panels would keep them in service. The system can get very, very cheap. We'll sell minutes at 1c per minute! Let's see ICO compete with that. Get your calculators out you silly ICO shareholders. The competition hasn't even begun. Maurice PS {Or have I got the fuel consumption wrong and it mostly goes in attitude control?}
