MULTI-PURPOSE SPACE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64G1/10 H04B7/185 G01S13/06 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to satellite systems for realisation of communication and monitoring tasks, comprising groups of spacecrafts (SC) brought to orbits of different height. System is intended for servicing of vast geographic region: land territory with adjacent sea and ocean areas. System comprises SC on highly elliptical orbits (101-105), including two SC (1, 2) for meteorological and heliogeophysical monitoring and specialised SC (3, 4, 5) for communication, and also SC (6, 7) at low orbits (106, 107) for radio-locating monitoring. System comprises ground complex (29) for SC control, ground complex (24) for reception, processing and distribution of space data and ground communication segment (25). At that possibility is provided to transfer information from SC (1, 2) directly to ground complexes (24, 29), and also to transfer data by components of ground complex (24) and ground communication segment (25) with application of space retranslation channels via SC (1-5).

EFFECT: improved reliability and expansion of system functions in combination with simplification of its service.
