The Selection of Altitude and Inclination for Remote Sensing Satellites

The success of a satellites mission is largely depended upon the choice of an appropriate orbit. In the case of a remote sensing satellite which observes the Earth, there exits an optimum solar elevation angle depending on the mission. Therefore a sun-synchronous orbit is suitable for a remote sensi...
