ABSTRACT:
A communication satellite system (100) is established using one or more satellite constellations (110, 120). The two or more satellite groups (110, 120) are connected via long range crosslinks (145) which provide a communication path between the long range satellites (150, 170) in the two satellite groups (110, 120). Each satellite group (110, 120) comprises long range satellites (150, 170) and short range satellites (160, 180) which are interconnected using short range crosslinks (155, 175). A single antenna on each satellite provides both crosslinks. The long range crosslink (145) is established using the antenna's main beam and the short range crosslinks (155, 175) are established using the antenna's sidelobes.
