Abstract
The capabilities of a pseudo-fixed latitude observation instrument with a 98° dawn-dusk sun-synchronous orbit are discussed. It is found that most of GEO objects can be visited every day and almost all the GEO objects can be visited in two days in the whole year using a sensor with 20°Ã2° field of view (FOV). The seasonal drops, which are caused by the characteristics of GEO belt and the influence of earth shadow at the two equinoxes, have been overcome under the pseudo-fixed observation mode.
