How far from that rate the mean motion may be, in revolutions a day: a
day's drift along the equator is 360 degrees times the difference, so
this is one degree of longitude a day. A Satellite inside the band stands
over its longitude for the ten days a Pass search may cover; one outside
it is on its way somewhere else.
