THREAD--Question about the sats. I'm wondering how any additional sats will fill out the coverage on the ground? It obviously depends on the pattern of sats up above. So, what is the pattern of the sats? For instance, do 6 sats follow one another in the same orbit, evenly spaced around the orbit? And are there then a number of different orbits? Sorry, maybe I should have known this earlier, but it hasn't occurred to me as an issue before this. There are a lot of different orbits possible, and up to now I've been indifferent as to the arrangement. But, the talk of "deadspots" raises the issue of why these occur, and trying to figure out at what point any relevant deadspots are eliminated. Best, JS
