Russian Satellite Communications Company operates geostationary
satellites as part of intelsat and eutelsat. Molniya insorfar as I'm

communications satellites with a 12 hour orbit, it's specifically
useful over the poles.
in one of the photos on the orignal live journal is an inmarsat terminal

platform to mount hardware on.
