About satellite orbit eccentricity. What's the advantage of a satellite having a permanent highly eccentric earth orbiting orbit? What general kind of satellites have them? I see that some Delta satellites do. The DELTA-4 R/B, although, not a working satellite, has an eccentricity in the TLE that's listed as being about 0.7!
