Viasat real-time space relay
Intersatellite communication leveraging Viasat's advanced space, 地面, and networking infrastructure for real-time, 全局数据传输
Viasat enables real-time data links through intersatellite communication
Also known as "crosslinking," intersatellite communication allows satellites in a constellation to link to one another and relay data in space. Since small satellite constellations in low Earth orbit (利奥) are not in constant contact with the 地面, intersatellite links allow data to be shared between adjacent satellites. Viasat offers several types of crosslinking solutions, including Ka-band and two types of V-band using a phased array antenna. By placing a miniature modem and router on each satellite, the constellation can have full transmit and receive capability for real-time data links.
Cost-effective data relay capabilities for 利奥 operators
许多卫星, 或者太空飞行器, operating in 利奥 routinely collect data, such as Earth and weather observations, radar measurements and other science data, that must be sent back to Earth in real-time. In choosing how to transport this data back to Earth for analysis and distribution, satellite operators often must consider a tradeoff between data latency, the time between data collection to when it is received back on Earth, 和成本. 为了克服这个问题, Viasat is developing a space relay capability that is intended to give 利奥 operators the ability to send data — in real-time, from all around the globe — over the planned ViaSat-3 geostationary orbit (地理) network.
Anticipated to leverage the combined power of Viasat's satellite, 实时地球, 以及网络解决方案
Viasat's real-time space relay solution brings together the best of our space, 地面, and networking technologies to serve near-Earth space users. At the heart of the solution is our planned global ViaSat-3 constellation, anticipated to deliver 1Tbps capacity/satellite for secure, 可靠的, 可扩展的吞吐量. Our space terminals are expected to deliver a turnkey space relay solution, providing all the network and radio hardware necessary to access the ViaSat-3 constellation — and our growing 实时地球 地面 station network provides fast, 可靠的 下行s across 6 continents, allowing satellite operators to command, 下行, and rapidly disseminate 地理, 利奥, and MEO data in a timely and secure manner with real-time streaming to your end point of choice
A fast, 灵活的, and scalable solution for near-earth operators
With the pending ViaSat-3 launch, Viasat's real-time space relay capabilities are expected to further enhance our fast, 灵活的, 可扩展的解决方案.
