CONT

Les satellites non en phase sont des satellites non synchrones dont l'altitude, la période et le plan orbital sont fixés avec un assez bon degré de précision, mais qui ne sont pas commandés avec une grande précision. Il en résulte un mouvement relatif entre ces satellites, mouvement dont les caractéristiques ont des valeurs essentiellement aléatoires.

Selon l'Union internationale des télécommunications, la désignation «satellite erratique» est considérée vieillie.
