    Abstract
    Spectrum management body of every Administration operates radio monitoring service, one of the primary purposes of which is to ensure interference-free operation of various radio services within its jurisdiction and, also to help identify the interfering-source to radio services of other Administrations. The radio monitoring service worldwide, as it exists today, is essentially limited to terrestrial radio services. During the past decade or so, a few Administrations established satellite monitoring earth stations, either individually or jointly, to monitor emissions from space services. As the sharing of radio frequency spectrum among space services on the one hand and between space services and terrestrial services on the other hand is increasingly resorted to pave the way for introduction of new applications and enhancement of existing applications of radiocommunications, the complexity of interference scenario and the potential for interference to and from space services correspondingly grows. Considering the stakes involved with both terrestrial and space services, satellite monitoring earth stations alone cannot be expected to resolve the various interference issues involved. A logical approach forward may consist in having space-borne radio monitoring stations, supported by one or more ground facilities. As orbits play crucial role in determining the effectiveness of space-borne radio monitoring stations, the paper discusses the orbits which could lead to the most basic but effective, and economical architecture of space-borne radio monitoring service. In analyzing orbits, the radio regulatory regime, as provided by the Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunication Union, and the operational scenario of space services is taken into account as appropriate.
