Abstract: According to the solving principle of envelope for a family ofsingle parameter—surface curves,the solution to outer boundary of theearth's surface band region covered with a satellite in orbital motion isgiven. The influence of the earth rotation upon the longitudinal width ofregion above is discussed.

Key words: Satellite ground track, Earth Surface band, Analyzing
