Read up on it here, which has diagrams of it: http://celestrak.com/columns/v04n07/ Sven Grahn has many interesting articles on satellites and satellite tracking: http://www.svengrahn.pp.se/ For doing satellite tracking, NASA has a page that shows where major satellites are at in real time: http://science.nasa.gov/Realtime/jtr.../JTrack3d.html For everything space related, it's hard to beat Mark Wade's Encyclopedia Astronautica website, which is huge: http://www.astronautix.com/index.html Hope this helps.
