Configuration
the following limit for use of inclined orbit satellites (a purely physical limit), and all systems
without heading input have this limit.
Tracking for satellite elevation above 75 degrees
It is not possible to use a system without heading input from the vessel's gyro compass with
satellites at an elevation of higher than 75 degrees because the system will not have the
required polarization accuracy of the transmitted signal.
Satellite elevation Max allowed inclination
