How to launch satellites in orbit

Ofc, not one LEO or GEO is enough and not only because of the regional coverage or lack of it - it's about redundancy and resilience.

But, why GEO? And, what is the purpose? It's okay for Inmarsat, but nothing else

One GEO is enough as it can be accessed from half of the planet. I don't want to send a constellation of satellites into LEO. Redundancy can be achieved within the same satellite.

Several dozen of LEO satellites will cost⁠ as one GEO. The price difference is due to launch vehicle.

CA or HA setup may be configured, but it's prudent to have︀ location redundancy, not only component one.
 
CA/HA or Mr JohnnyDoe's project?

Whatever his purpose may be, redundancy should never be only‌ component wise.
 
Okay, and what should be the benefit of doing‍ so? I try to understand it ns2
 
that's not a benefit but an obstacle‌ (not only for the 3-letter guys but also for you as a user).
just compare‍ the ease and speed of downloading data from IPFS/blockchains to downloading data from the orbit.⁠
 
the data in the IPFS/blockchain is unreachable‍ too, unless the "bad guys" would raid every single node which is theoretically possible but⁠ practically unachievable.
 
There are‌ use cases when satellites have integrated storage function. But, that's related to sqlite database with‍ relatively low capacity - orbital trajectory, busters' management, remote login authentication. Those parts are protected⁠ from solar radiation and heat generated by busters.

You would be able to mount storage⁤ server within a satellite, but it should be with all components redundancy. Consider that server⁣ CPU is not intended to have redundancy, so when one fails, portion of RAM and⁢ other components would be inaccessible. So, a blade server network may be optimal for your︀ case.

GEO orbital trajectory wouldn't degrade like LEO and MEO. But, other detrimental forces will︁ impact operational readiness. Beside that, you would need to legally structure the whole project and︂ maintain a ground control for orbital trajectory management, whatever orbit you potentially select.

But, without︃ redundant satellite, you would became a history first space gambler 😎 There is no Zurich insurance︄ in space - what if a meteor hits your one and only satellite fin4774"

Well, not quite. To access, maybe. To render it︇ inoperable, yes. Both Russian Federation and People's Republic of China have anti-satellite weapons

Nominal latency for GEO is︈ 700ms and for LEO 50ms - excluding atmospheric and ionospheric influence.
 
It would be very expensive as it’s very difficult to remove the heat.
