Iridium Satellite LLC owns and operates the constellation and sells equipment and access to its services.The constellation requires 66 active satellites in orbit to complete its constellation and additional spare satellites are kept in-orbit to serve in case of failure. Satellites are in low Earth orbit at a height of approximately 485 mi 781 km and inclination of 86.4?. Orbital velocity of the satellites is approximately 17,000 mph 27,000 km/h. Satellites communicate with neighboring satellites via Ka band intersatellite links. Each satellite can have four intersatellite links: two to neighbors fore and aft in the same orbital plane, and two to satellites in neighboring planes to either side. The satellites orbit from pole to pole with an orbit of roughly 100 minutes. This design means that there is excellent satellite visibility and service coverage at the North and South poles, where there are few customers. The over-the-pole orbital design producesPrice: $60.00 Date added: Dec 07, 2009Product id: 541daa771e43f6d40e4a0362
