Abstract

The paper shows the relevance of a space relay system when creating multi-satellite orbital constellations of spacecraft. The parameters of an advanced space relay system for controlling a multi-satellite orbital constellation of spacecraft are studied taking into account the structure of the spacecraft technological control cycle. A space relay system in low and medium Earth orbits is proposed as a dynamic telecommunication system to provide control of a large number of spacecraft. Necessary conditions are formulated to complete the spacecraft technological control cycle with a given quality including the realization of multiple access methods. The proposed space relay system is considered as a queuing system. An example of calculating the parameters of a geostationary space relay system in the case of using multi-beam antenna system as a queuing system is given.
