Abstract:
A communication satellite for use in a satellite constellation is provided. The communication satellite includes: a user side interface for wireless receiving and transmitting of data; a network side interface for wireless receiving and transmitting of data; a first inter satellite interface for wireless receiving and transmitting of data having a first radiation direction of electromagnetic waves; a second inter satellite interface for wireless receiving and transmitting of data having a second radiation direction of electromagnetic waves. The first radiation direction has a first radiation angle with respect to a direction of movement of the communication satellite. The second radiation direction has a second radiation angle with respect to the direction of movement of the communication satellite. An absolute value of the first radiation angle corresponds to an absolute value of the second radiation angle.
