Abstract
An array of satellites virtual forming a geosynchronous space. Communication with the satellites is only carried out during an active arc near the apogee portion. During other points of the satellites orbit, they are inactive. These inactive portions of the satellites orbit include the positions where the satellite communication could conceivably interfere with communications to geosynchronous satellites.
