A Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite constellation comprising two satellite subconstellations. Each of the two satellite subconstellations comprises three cross-linked satellites. The cross-linked satellites of both subconstellations lay within or near the equatorial plane, and follow a substantially circular orbit. Individual ones of the satellites within each respective subconstellation are offset from each of two adjacent satellites of at least one of the other subconstellations by a predetermined angle. Each of the satellite subconstellations relays communications between a terrestrial node and at least one mission platform in a manner that minimizes the number of satellite links necessary for relaying the communications. At least one satellite from each respective subconstellation is always within a view of the terrestrial node.
Constellation de satellites sur orbite terrestre moyenne composée de deux sous-constellations de satellites. Chacune de ces deux sous-constellations comprend trois satellites interreliés. Les satellites interreliés des deux sous-constellations se trouvent sur le plan équatorial ou près de celui-ci, sur une orbite essentiellement circulaire. Chaque satellite de chaque sous-constellation respective est décalé d'un angle préétabli par rapport à deux satellites adjacents d'au moins l'une des sous-constellations. Chaque sous-constellation de satellites achemine les communications entre un noeud terrien et au moins une plate-forme de mission, d'une manière qui minimise le nombre de liaisons par satellite nécessaires à l'acheminement des communications. Au moins l'un des satellites de chaque sous-constellation respective est toujours visible du noeud terrien.
