Mission description

The 354km x 1447km with 71º of inclination orbit introduced above has been considered for this study. As RAAN and argument of perigee are not fixed parameters, four values for each of them has been considered: for covering the complete 360º spectrum of possibilities in an schematic way, 0º - 90º - 180º - 270º values have been studied for both parameters, therefore contemplating 16 orbits taking into account the 4 x 4 = 16 possible combinations: RAAN: 0º + arg. of perigee: 0º / RAAN: 0º + arg. of perigee: 90º / RAAN: 0º + arg. of perigee: 180º / … / RAAN: 270º + arg. of perigee: 270º.
