Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a satellite constellation consisting of multiple artificial satellites flying in inclined circular orbits. These satellites are arranged in six or more orbital planes with a common orbital inclination. The satellites are positioned in a way that their south and north axes are shifted in an east-west direction. Each orbital plane contains at least eight artificial satellites. Each satellite is equipped with a fore-and-aft communication device. These devices allow the satellites to form communication networks with the satellites positioned in front and behind them within the same orbital plane. The satellites on each orbital plane synchronize their movements with satellites on other orbital planes, crossing the southern and northern edges of their respective orbital planes simultaneously. This synchronization allows them to form communication networks with the satellites in other orbital planes using the fore-and-aft communication device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A satellite constellation () includes a plurality of artificial satellites flying on an inclined circular orbit for each of six or more orbital planes having a common orbital inclination and arranged so that south and north axes are mutually shifted in an east-west direction. The plurality of artificial satellites include eight or more artificial satellites for each orbital plane. Each of the artificial satellites includes a fore-and-aft communication device. For each orbital plane, each of the artificial satellites forms a communication network with front and rear artificial satellites by the fore-and-aft communication device. Each of the artificial satellites on each orbital plane crosses southern and northern edges of the orbital plane in synchronization with artificial satellites on other orbital planes, and forms a communication network with that artificial satellites by the fore-and-aft communication device.
