A six-spacecraft heliocentric Elliptical Walker constellation is claimed to enable continuous 4π Sun coverage, in-situ measurements, and near-continuous Sun-Earth line monitoring, but the supporting demonstration is largely qualitative.
Specifically, further improvement on th e orbit insertion maneuvers and the synchronization with the launch date and the respective eccentricities will be necessary

Continuous In-Situ and Remote Sun Observation for Space Weather Monitoring and Mitigation of Infrastructure Threats Through an Optimized Heliocentric Satellite Constellation
A six-spacecraft heliocentric Elliptical Walker constellation is claimed to enable continuous 4π Sun coverage, in-situ measurements, and near-continuous Sun-Earth line monitoring, but the supporting demonstration is largely qualitative.
