This paper presents a globe coverage of constellation satellite in one revisit and the regional coverage at defined latitude. This constellation seems to be very close to optimal under the maximum revisit time comparing to the results in other papers. They are produced easily by using tables and data achievements. These satellites are fully connected by crosslinks sweeping the Earth. This model is more optimal comparing to the conventional constellations that distribute satellites evenly in the space. Since satellites on the LEO orbit are side by side, in most cases, they can maintain communication continuously. This special feature allows all satellites in the constellation connecting ground at any time when a satellite is available to the stations. Length of the crosslink is allowed to reject location connection or real-time data transmission. For example, six satellites in the constellation cover the whole Earth within one revisit time and all the data are collected by two Earth stations for keeping continuous coverage. Thus, the adjacent satellites may be more efficient and provide more coverage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
