A system includes a set of satellites in orbits having transits across the sky. Two or more such transits are arranged to intersect to form a closed loop. Movement of the satellites along their respective transits causes, at each intersection of the closed loop, two or more satellites of the set of satellites to be distanced from each other in a manner that enables coverage of the two or more satellites by a single beam of an antenna that tracks one of the satellites.
