# * Deligo
# *
# * A satellite constellation designed at the University of Surrey.
# *
# * This "provides 100% single satellite visibility between +/-74deg
# * latitudes and 100% dual diversity between +/-62deg latitudes
# * at a minimum elevation angle of 14deg" with a repetitive ground
# * track. Not built.
# *
# * Described in:
# * C. Meenan, A. Sammut, R. Tafazolli and B. G. Evans, Deligo:
# * Repetitive ground track 100% dual-diversity LEO satellite
# * constellation for S-PCN, IEE Electronics Letters, vol. 13
# * no. 17, 17 August 1995, pp. 1407-1408.
