All homogeneous sphere packings and all interpenetrating layers of spheres were derived that refer to the 18 orthorhombic trivariant lattice complexes with mirror symmetry. In total, sphere packings of 51 different types have been found. Only for 28 of these types is the maximal inherent symmetry of their sphere packings orthorhombic. Some crystal structures that can be described by means of sphere packings are listed.
