The "non-visible" satellites are only positioned relative to the "visible"satellites. This is an interesting option even for non geosynchroneous orbits, because despiteof a regional network, the tracking accuracy is "transferred" to the non-visible satellites viathe inter satellite links.Page 116R.

Inter Satellite LinksSimulations and Results6.2.3 IGSO on three Loops6.2.3.1 Ground TrackingThis scenario provides nearly as good tracking accuracy as the Walker constellation. Thedifferences result from the higher inclination of the orbits.Radial Error [cm] 1998 07 02 05:59 - 1998 07 09 17:5940.0Radial Std. Dev.
