This paper discusses the use of satellites in circular orbits at altitudes high enough for continental U.S. (CONUS) visibility. This enables one satellite to relay signals between geographically separated earth stations within CONUS at any one time and thus bypasses the need for intersatellite links. System performance is examined for three circular satellite orbits at altitudes of 20,182 km, 10,353 km, and 5143 km. Inclination angles between the satellite orbit plane and the equatorial plane of 0, 45, and 90 deg are considered. The number of satellites required to provide continuous CONUS coverage is calculated.
