Tundra-Orbit

Tundra-Orbit

Ein Tundra-Orbit ist die hoch-elliptische Umlaufbahn eines geosynchronen Satelliten mit einer Inklination von meist 63,4°.

3 geostationäre Satelliten erfassen die gesamte Erde, aber lediglich bis zu einer geografischen Breite von maximal 81,3°. Hingegen deckt eine Konstellation von 4 Satelliten auf Tundra-Orbits die gesamte Erde ab. Eine vergleichbare Abdeckung erreichen Satelliten auf Molnija-Orbits (HEO) mit geringerer Umlaufzeit von 12h und hoher Exzentrizität.
