This paper revisits a class of Earth-orbiting interferometric observatories introduced previously and reviews the general procedures to achieve wave-number plane coverage. The effect of eccentric spacecraft trajectories and gravity field J2 perturbations on wave-number plane coverage are considered. Conditions for complete wave-number plane coverage are found for certain classes of orbit perturbations. This analysis leads to design criteria for interferometric observatories that ensure wave-number plane coverage as a function of perturbation strength.
