“…ORBIT-II was the official synthesis software for WARC-ORB-88. Whyte et al [43] describe a program developed by NASA, called NASARC, to assign sat ellites to predetermined arcs on the basis of their electromagnetic compatibility. Though this procedure does not allot precise locations to satellites, it is a useful preprocessor for synthesis techniques like ORBIT-II.…”

We consider the problem of allotting locations in the geostationary orbit to com munication satellites, subject to angle of elevation and electromagnetic interference constraints. An optimization framework is used as a means of finding feasible allotment plans. Specifically, we present a two-phase solution procedure for the satellite location problem (SLP). The objective in SLP is to allot geostationary orbital locations to satellites so as to minimize the sum of the absolute differences between the locations prescribed for the satellites and corresponding specified desired locations. We describe two heuristics, an ordering procedure and a kpermutation algorithm, that are used in tandem to find solutions to SLP. Solutions to ä worldwide example problem with 183 satellites serving 208 service areas are summarized.
