Here, the satellites are in near-polar circular orbits across approximately 180 degrees, travelling north on one side of the Earth, and south on the other. The active satellites in the full Iridium constellation form a Walker Star of 86.4°:66/6/2, i.e. the phasing repeats every two planes. Walker uses similar notation for stars and deltas, which can be confusing. At least eight telecommunications satellite constellations are in-development in and : Satellite constellation simulation tools: More information: Satellite constellation A satellite constellation is a group of
