How to launch satellites in orbit

[JohnnyDoe]

Ofc, not one LEO or GEO is enough and not only because of the regional coverage or lack of it - it's about redundancy and resilience.

But, why GEO? And, what is the purpose? It's okay for Inmarsat, but nothing else

One GEO is enough as it can be accessed from half of the planet. I don’t want to send a constellation of satellites into LEO. Redundancy can be achieved within the same satellite.

Just to be extra safe, the satellite will contain a data destruction device Patent for secure erasing of data (which of course also works in space and can be activated from Earth)

Several dozen of LEO satellites will cost as one GEO. The price difference is due to launch vehicle.

CA or HA setup may be configured, but it's prudent to have location redundancy, not only component one.

I have no idea what this is about, nor aspire for it ... however this clearly depends on the purpose, doesn't it?

CA/HA or Mr JohnnyDoe's project?

Whatever his purpose may be, redundancy should never be only component wise.
