Title:
COMMUNICATION SATELLITE SYSTEM, EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEM, AND MAIN SATELLITE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/062732
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A communication satellite system (10) includes multiple orbital planes the azimuth components of the normal vectors of which are dispersed in the longitude direction. When each of the multiple orbital planes is set as a target orbital plane, the target orbital plane is an orbital plane corresponding to an inclined orbit, and multiple satellites (30) are flying in the target orbital plane. When each satellite (30) flying in the target orbital plane is set as a target satellite, the target satellite includes: a first communication device for communicating with satellites (30) that are flying in the orbital plane in which the target satellite is flying and are located in front of and behind the target satellite in the travel direction of the target satellite; a second communication device for communicating with ground equipment (90) installed on the ground; and a third communication device for communicating with satellites (30) that are flying in another orbital plane near an intersection formed in plan view by the orbital plane in which the target satellite is flying and the other orbital plane. In the target orbital plane, multiple satellites (30) flying in the target orbital plane form a ring communication network.
