... ESA has been studying the Advanced Research in Communications using Highly Inclined orbits for Mobile applications and other Experiments and Demonstrations using European Satellites(ARCHIMEDES) system, consisting of a constellation of four spacecraft operating in non-geostationary orbits(non-GEO) for direct satellite audio broadcast(DAB) and land-mobile(LMSS) applications. This system would be placed in elliptical orbit to enable high elevation angle operation over Europe to reduce shadowing and multipath problems.
