Research on Inter-Satellite Networking Technology for Large-Scale Constellations

Introduction At the end of the 20th century, satellite constellation programs represented by “Iridium” and “Globalstar” initiated the first wave of satellite constellation network development. However, due to an inability to compete with rapidly developing terrestrial networks and missteps in commercial operational strategies, these programs fell behind and were declared failures. In recent years, commercial … Read more
