Title:
SATELLITE OPERATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023122540
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a technique for achieving flexible communication by setting communication opportunities on demand that are not in a predetermined communication schedule in inter-satellite optical communication.SOLUTION: One aspect of the present disclosure includes: an orbit prediction unit that predicts the orbit of a relay satellite that relays communication between a satellite having an optical communication unit and an earth station; a communication planning unit that creates a communication plan between the satellite and the relay satellite; a setting unit that sets an unplanned communication period during which there is a possibility of unplanned communication between the satellite and the relay satellite; and a creation unit that creates control information for controlling the optical communication unit so that the optical communication unit points to and tracks the relay satellite over the unplanned communication period based on the predicted orbit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
