Fig. 3 Weilheim receiving station. Example for 5 consecutive 
orbits (numbers 1 through 5) respesenting the coverage of 
one day. The swath width marked by parallel lines is 255 km. 
Dotted lines mark the range of the station for an elevation 
of the satellite above the horizon of 5? respectively 10?. 
Because the pattern of passes is shifting 6.5? eastwards a 
day, full coverage of the area shown, can be achieved within 
6 days.
