                         constellation to cover the Brazilian territory. The paper presents 
                         an overview of constellation design possibilities for a 
                         hypothetical Brazilian Regional Positioning System. Since Brazil 
                         is located near the equator plane, the idea is to think about a 
                         RPS satellite constellation that takes advantage of this fact in 
                         order to design a cost effective regional system that aims at 
                         covering primarily only the Brazilian territory. In this sense, 
                         three satellite constellation types were considered. The first one 
                         is based only on geosynchronous satellites. The second one is 
                         based on Medium Earth Orbit - MEO satellites placed in the equator 
                         plane or near to it, and the third one is composed by Low Earth 
                         Orbit - LEO satellites with low to moderate orbital plane 
                         inclination angles. A preliminary optimization process was run in 
                         order to obtain an initial guess of a good design. The obtained 
                         design constellations are presented and discussed.",
