It's a neat capability to have, whether with conventional or nuclear weapons. You can literally be over anywhere on the planet in about 90 minutes.

Huh? Only one satelite per orbit?

Nope. Only one drop point (over the intended targer) per orbit. You carry what you can carry. One satelite. Two. Nine. You design the craft to carry what you want to carry and what matches the physics of your delivery system. You wanna drop off three over say, Paris, and another two on their way to Pyong Yang, have at it. You just have to have the lift capability.
