THE MULTI-INTERVAL CONNECTION ESTABLISHING METHODOLOGY IN MULTI-SATTELLITE ORBITAL CONSTELLATION

The paper formalizes the relevance of the task of developing a methodology for establishing a multi-interval connection in multi-satellite orbital constellation. The paper presents a mathematical formulation of the problem of establishing a multi-channel connection in multi-satellite orbital constellation, providing information exchange between the sender and the recipient with specified geospatial coordinates.The methodology is presented, differed from known ones by taking into account the availability of the terrestrial backbone telecommunications infrastructure of the Earth station, planned to establish connection on the «spacecraft — Earth station» down line. The presented methodology can be used to evaluate characteristics of promising satellite communication networks focused on providing global high-speed information exchange.
