None of these provided options
In 1945, Arthur C. Clarke published his article titled “Extra-Terrestrial Relays: Can Rocket Stations Give Worldwide Radio Coverage?”, in which he proposed a “geostationary orbit”, where three satellites could serve as global communication relays. Asa sci-fi author and Royal Air Force officer, Clarke drew inspiration from German rocket science from WWII and his imagination. He created a sketch of a network of satellites, what we would describe today as a constellation.
Though notably, Clarke’s original design envisioned the inclusion of space stations with people managing the operations of the constellation. In this design, he described optimal orbital parameters for these satellites and stations to orbit the Earth at the same rate as its rotation. This would allow them to remain essentially stationary over the same spots on the Earth.
