SYSTEM OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION WITH HYBRID ORBITAL CONSTRUCTION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04B7/185 

FIELD: communication equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to satellite communication systems with a hybrid orbital construction. Satellite communication system with a hybrid orbital construction contains communication satellites divided into two groups of satellites, L1-L8 communication satellites of one group are low-orbitals with a circular orbit altitude of less than 1,600 km with an inclination of 85–95°, and the communication satellites G1-G3 of the other group are located in the geostationary orbit. L1-L8 communication satellites in a low earth orbit are uniformly distributed along the latitude argument in a single quasipolar plane, and are interconnected by inter-satellite links with G1-G3 communication satellites in the geostationary orbit, which are connected to ground stations of interface and control.

EFFECT: technical result consists in using the minimum necessary number of satellites in a system providing global radio communication, including the high latitude Arctic and Antarctic regions of the Earth, while minimizing the cost of creation and subsequent operating costs in the operation of the satellite communications system.
