LEO SATELLITE, LEO SATELLITE SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103169 titled 'LEO SATELLITE, LEO SATELLITE SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a Leo satellite system that includes a light projecting element, optical telescope, optical phased array, light receiving element, distance measurement unit, and a control unit. The control unit captures other Leo satellites by scanning emission light using the optical telescope and receives incident light from the other Leo satellites on the same or different orbital planes.
- Light projecting element emits emission light to another Leo satellite
- Optical telescope and optical phased array are used to capture other Leo satellites
- Light receiving element receives incident light from other Leo satellites
- Distance measurement unit measures distance to other Leo satellites
- Control unit captures other Leo satellites based on emission and incident light
Potential Applications
This technology could be used for satellite communication, space exploration, and satellite surveillance.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately capturing and measuring the distance to other Leo satellites in space.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved satellite communication, enhanced space exploration capabilities, and more efficient satellite surveillance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include satellite communication services, space research and exploration missions, and satellite imaging and surveillance services.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be satellite tracking systems that use optical telescopes and phased arrays for communication and surveillance purposes.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle communication between Leo satellites on different orbital planes?
The abstract mentions that the control unit captures other Leo satellites on different orbital planes, but it does not provide details on how this is achieved.
What are the specific technical specifications of the optical telescope and phased array used in this system?
The abstract mentions the use of an optical telescope and optical phased array for capturing other Leo satellites, but it does not provide information on the specific technical specifications of these components.
Original Abstract Submitted
an leo satellite includes a light projecting element that emits emission light to another leo satellite, an optical telescope, an optical phased array, a light receiving element that receives incident light from the other leo satellite, a distance measurement unit that measures a distance to the other leo satellite based on at least one of the emission light and the incident light, and a control unit. the control unit captures the other leo satellites by scanning emission light using the optical telescope and receives incident light from the other leo satellites for the other leo satellites on the same orbital plane, and captures the other leo satellites by scanning emission light using the optical phased array and receives incident light from the other leo satellites for the other leo satellites on different orbital planes.
