From a 95-minute lap at 550 km to a full sidereal day at 35,786 km, where a satellite holds still over one point on the equator.
Five shells.
2,088 satellites.
Each shell is a Walker-delta pattern: altitude, inclination, plane count and phasing. Pick one to fly the explorer straight to it — or scroll on to see them all at once.
