The minimum number of geostationary satellites needed for un-interrupted global coverage is (1) 3 (2) 2 (3) 4 (4) 1

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) 2 Explanation: In theory, 2 satellites in diametrically opposite geosynchronous orbits could cover the planet. In order for the satellites to communicate, a minimum of 3 would be needed, each at a 60 degree angle to the others. At this point, the strength and quality of coverage increases proportionally to the number of satellites.
