Significance of the Orbit Inclination Angle<br />
• The highest latitude a satellite<br />
can pass zenith is equal to the<br />
orbit inclination angle<br />
• Any GPS satellite will eventually<br />
be visible from any position in<br />
the Arctic<br />
• A geostationary satellite cannot<br />
be observed above a latitude of<br />
about 75° with e.g. a 5°<br />
elevation mask constraint. The<br />
longitude position might reduce<br />
this limit.<br />
