Probability equations to determine amount of time communication is available for various combinations of equal and random spacing of communication satellites are given; application is made to selected communication links including Boston-London, and Los Angeles-Hawaii, to bring out effects of using equal spacing; equally-spaced planes, and equal spacing of satellites per plane, which is most sophisticated ordering, gives most improvement.
