This investigation extends the work by Emery et al, in which the optimal Right Ascension of the Ascending Node was determined for a circular, matched inclination orbit. The optimal values were determined by a numerical research method based on Emery et al.'s Matlab program. Results indicate that small increases in inclination raise the number of daylight passes up to 33%. These optimal inclinations depend on the satellite semi-major axis. Eccentricity increases also improve daylight pass numbers, but at a cost of increased range to the target. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Axel Rendon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1249586836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781249586838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioscholar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.17d","brand":"Axel Rendon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611144601855,"sku":"9781249586838","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b64b0c0-c9dc-4ab6-b80b-e2aabf00b254.jpg?v=1764512028","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/optimal-coverage-of-theater-targets-axel-rendon-9781249586838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
