INMARSAT SATELLITES

• The entire INMARSAT network operates through a
  constellation of 9 geo-stationary satellites.
• Geo-Stationary Satellite Orbits in an equatorial
  plane at exactly the same angular velocity as
  that of earths rotational speed appears to be
  fixed at a specific point in the sky when viewed
  from the earth.
• (Distance from surface of the Earth 35,784 Kms)
• Advantage
• INMARSAT users need not to switch satellites
  throughout the world.
