Rob,
This is very interesting! One of your requirements is that the inclination of the
orbit be 33 degrees or greater. There is also a minimum altitude requirement. Could
you calculate the minimum altitude (in km or miles) that the Satellite must be so that when the
satellite is over 33 degrees North latitude it is visible from your location *and* from
navspasur? These two numbers would help narrow it down to a short list of satellites.
And how many degrees above the horizon at your location and at navspasur's location
does it have to be? 10 degrees? This affects the minimum height above the earth that
you require. Give the minimum height and 33 degree minimum inclination requirement
back to this list and I think you will get some answers.
