Via computer simulations, the relationship between inter-orbit satellite phasing and predicted GPS mission performance is studied for two constellations under consideration. Two measures of mission performance are used. The first is the average number of satellites visible over the earth for a 24 hour period, and the second is the geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) which reflects loss of range measurement precision due to pseudoranging errors. The two constellations, which were analyzed, have 18 satellites in 55 degree inclined orbits. One constellation has six planes with three satellites equally spaced in each plane. The other constellation has three planes with six satellites per plane.
