Report establishes criteria for formation of global surveillance and communication nets and synthesizes some practical examples of these nets; four properties are postulated which define necessary conditions for formation of nets; certain lower bounds are obtained for number of satellites and/or ground stations in net in order to establish world-wide surveillance and communication capability; it is shown that nets can be obtained which are competitive with orbital systems providing only surveillance of globe.
