摘　　要：The development of oceanography and meteorology has greatly benefited from remotely sensed satellite data of the atmosphere and ocean.For oceanographers,meteorologists,hydrologists and climatologists to obtain high-quality satellite data,orbits along which the satellites move must be designed carefully.For this reason,Sun-synchronous,repeat ground track orbits have traditionally been used for visible-wavelength and infrared Earth observations.As the needs for varied datasets are growing,however,new classes of Earth-observing missions are emerging such as interferometry and radiometry to name a few.On the other side,satellite platforms and onboard sensors are getting more compact and less expensive,allowing developing nations to launch their own satellites and under-researched parts of the Earth be studied.In light of these changes,this paper introduces new types of satellite orbits from celestial mechanics perspectives,whose applications will be detailed further in the follow-up work.
