Darkening Low-Earth Orbit Satellite Constellations: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The proliferation of low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites and the LEO satellite internet will be a game-changer for low-latency high-speed global internet. While this new generation in conjunction with fifth network (5G) sixth (6G) enabled emerging technologies, such as precision farming smart cities, it bring challenges, collision, limited lifespan, security concerns, brightness. This article discusses brightness caused by constellations that potentially affect ongoing astronomical studies. It reviews underlying contributors to well state-of-the-art technologies proposed mitigate challenge.

Staged Deployment of Communications Satellite Constellations in Low Earth Orbit
The “traditional” way of designing constellations of communications satellites in low Earth orbit is to optimize the design for a specified global capacity. This approach is based on a forecast of the expected number of users and their activity level, both of which are highly uncertain. This can lead to economic failure if the actual demand is significantly smaller than the one predicted. This ...
متن کاملAn Optimization Model for Routing in Low Earth Orbit Satellite Constellations
In the recent years, a large set of satellite constellations has been proposed to address communication services with worldwide coverage and once data is in the sky, a major issue consists of redistributing it on Earth in a proper way. This work addresses the routing problem in satellite networks. An optimization model is presented. In our model, the communication flow is not divided in several...
متن کاملCapacity Provisioning, Failure Recovery and Throughput Analysis for Low Earth Orbit Satellite Constellations
We investigate the capacity needed to build a restorable satellite network and design routing schemes to achieve high throughput. Speci cally, the rst part of this thesis considers the link capacity requirement for a LEO satellite constellation. We model the constellation as an N N mesh-torus topology under a uniform all-to-all traÆc model. Both primary capacity and spare capacity for recoverin...
متن کاملPassive Aerodynamic Stabilization of a Low Earth Orbit Satellite
This paper discusses the influence of aerodynamic drag torque on the dynamics of a satellite in a very low altitude orbit. The larger atmospheric density in low altitude earth orbits results in significant aerodynamic drag torques acting on the satellite. With a conventional satellite design this may result in instability. This paper shows how the instability can be avoided, and how the aerodyn...
متن کاملSuccessive interference cancellation in a low-earth orbit satellite system
Successive interference cancellation is a promising technique for increasing the capacity of uplink CDMA channels. In this paper, the technique is extended to a low-earth orbit satellite channel. Unlike terrestrial cellular channels, satellite channels typically have a limited multipath profile, but significant closed-loop power control error due to the round-trip delay incurred in communicatin...
