A. 3
B. 4
C. 2
D. 1
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
In theory, 2 satellites in diametrically opposite geo-synchronous orbits could cover the planet. In order for the satellites to communicate, a minimum of 3 would be needed, each at a 60° angle to the others. At this point, the strength and quality of coverage increases proportionally to the number of satellites.Related Questions on Earth
