Abstract

An application of the latitude coverage thus determined is shown in Fig. 3. The curves given in Fig. 3 represent the cross range required to assure at least one and two landing opportunities each day, respectively, for a landing site located at a latitude of 35° (Edwards Air Force Base) as a function of orbital inclination. Generation of such curves requires the determination of the orbit trace spacing, at the landing site latitude, produced within the time period in which the landing opportunities are to be assured. Detailed procedures for this step are outlined in Ref. 3.
