I wonder how close 2 satellites on that same orbit could be without affecting each other.
If one satellite is over a cigar store in Kampala, Uganda, for example, and another is over a barber shop on the next block, are they too close to each other?
Good question. In Arthur C. Clarke’s book “The Fountains of Paradise” they actually link all of the satellites together into one continuous band around the Earth.
