In order to achieve a considerable reduction of the outlay required on the ground in connection with the accurate calculation of the exact orbital position of each individual satellite of a constellation, first the exact orbital position of a preferably central master satellite of a sub-group of satellites embodied as a special formation is determined. This calculation is performed autonomously on board the satellite by means of customary measurements supported from the ground, or respectively by means of GPS, MANS, etc. Then the exact position of all other satellites in the same formation is determined from range and pointing data, which are provided by each IS link terminal. These pointing data are well known after the establishment of the inter- satellite link and are continuously updated.
