A low earth orbiting, LEO, satellite constellation system for communications, which comprises a) a plurality of satellites in a polar orbit about the earth; b) the satellites being arranged in orbital planes around the earth to provide coverage for points on earth for communications and at all times, and c) wherein the number of satellites in each orbital plane provides communications over the range of the orbital plane; d) wherein each satellite has an antenna for receiving and transmitting signals to earth stations, and wherein the satellite antenna is controlled with a control mechanism to avoid transmitting down the bore sight of a GEO-pointing antenna at any point on earth; e) wherein the satellite orbital plane defines a polar orbit about the four quadrants of the earth, wherein the satellite has a pointing control, and wherein the pointing control in the first quadrant is programmed with an algorithm to direct satellite transmissions to maximize the coverage and avoid transmitting down the boresight of a GEO-pointing antenna; f) wherein the satellite pointing control directs the satellite transmission coverage in each quadrant of the plane of orbit to mirror the satellite transmission coverage of the rearward directed beam projected in the prior quadrant of the satellite orbit; g) wherein the transition between quadrants at the equator includes the satellite turning off its transmitter towards the earth so as to avoid transmitting down the bore sight of an antenna pointing towards a geo-stationary earth orbiting, GEO, satellite; and h) wherein the transmission between satellites and an earth station is carried out using spectrum also employed by GEO communications satellites communicating in the same region. a) a plurality of satellites in a polar orbit about the earth; b) the satellites being arranged in orbital planes around the earth to provide coverage for points on earth for communications and at all times, and c) wherein the number of satellites in each orbital plane provides communications over the range of the orbital plane; d) wherein each satellite has an antenna for receiving and transmitting signals to earth stations, and wherein the satellite antenna is controlled with a control mechanism to avoid transmitting down the bore sight of a GEO-pointing antenna at any point on earth; e) wherein the satellite orbital plane defines a polar orbit about the four quadrants of the earth, wherein the satellite has a pointing control, and wherein the pointing control in the first quadrant is programmed with an algorithm to direct satellite transmissions to maximize the coverage and avoid transmitting down the boresight of a GEO-pointing antenna; f) wherein the satellite pointing control directs the satellite transmission coverage in each quadrant of the plane of orbit to mirror the satellite transmission coverage of the rearward directed beam projected in the prior quadrant of the satellite orbit; g) wherein the transition between quadrants at the equator includes the satellite turning off its transmitter towards the earth so as to avoid transmitting down the bore sight of an antenna pointing towards a geo-stationary earth orbiting, GEO, satellite; and h) wherein the transmission between satellites and an earth station is carried out using spectrum also employed by GEO communications satellites communicating in the same region. <EOS>
