In-depth insights into the Multi-Orbit solution and Avanti Communications innovative approach to enhancing satellite connectivity."

Low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites — orbiting at altitudes of 500-2,000km — have the potential to transform communication, offering faster connections and lower latency than the traditional technology. However, governments need the right regulatory framework to capitalize off this opportunity.

#Japanese JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency successfully achieved the world's fastest optical inter-satellite communication speed of 1.8 Gbps between the #LUCAS Optical Inter-satellite Communications System and the Advanced Radar Satellite #Daichi4 (ALOS-4). Key Facts - - This is the world's first successful optical inter-satellite communication in geostationary orbit #LEO in 1.5μm wavelength band. - This is 7.5 times faster than the transmission speed of 240 Mbps of the previous generation Data Relay Test Satellite 'Kodama'. - In an emergency, commands can be sent from the ground to the satellite via a geostationary orbit satellite using LUCAS as a relay, and images can be obtained quickly. Future Ahead - 1.5μm band is a general-purpose wavelength used in terrestrial optical fiber communication networks; it can also be used in space communications in the future. - JAXA will conduct relaying observation and experiment data transfer from spacecraft orbiting at medium to low altitudes (200 to 1,000 km). If it succeeds, it will transform #spacecommunication. - The successful communication between LEO satellites and LUCAS is expected to increase communication time. - Even data acquired in areas where LEO satellites cannot directly communicate with a ground station can be transmitted to the ground in real-time via a geostationary orbit satellite. National Gain: Post-distance and relative positions experiments between the satellites, #JAXA can commercialize this #spacetech for better quality, quick & sustainable space communication.

Revolutionizing seismic data transfer from sensor to client using Low Earth Orbit Satellites (LEO) 🛰 ❓ What are LEO Satellites? LEO constellations consist of networks of satellites orbiting Earth at a much lower altitude (typically up to 1 600 kilometers) compared to traditional satellites (around altitudes of approximately 36 000 kilometers.) This closer proximity offers significant advantages for data transmission due to: 💪 Stronger Connectivity: The closer proximity to Earth allows for a more robust signal, facilitating faster and more reliable data transfer. ⏩ Faster Data Transmission: LEO satellites significantly reduce data travel time. During our testing, we were able to reduce the data delivery time from an average of nine days to just one day. This translates to faster decision-making capabilities for our clients. ⏰ Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Faster data turnaround times unlock a more streamlined workflow, potentially leading to faster project completion and cost savings for our clients. If you'd like to learn more about how PGS has seized the opportunity to revolutionize our seismic data flow then you can find out a lot more in the article below 👇 https://ow.ly/iuyx50RfQ2o #DataTransfer #SeismicData #WorkflowEfficiency

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites: LEO satellites orbit at altitudes from 160 km to 2,000 km above the Earth. At this distance, satellites can provide low latency and high data transfer rates. However, at this altitude the satellites cover a smaller area at a time, which means you need exponentially more satellites in orbit for seamless coverage and receiving equipment must handoff to the next satellite passing overhead every 10 minutes or so.

Low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites are evolving rapidly, with new applications and huge market potential driven by speed improvements over time. As space is limited, the question is how to really leverage this technology to improve connectivity across the world. This would require quite some effort, ranging from careful spectrum allocation to global standards setting, yet it is definitely something worth achieving. Read more (the link is below)!

This week we're jumping ship (or satellite) to Orbit Determination Tool Kit with our latest Digital Mission Engineering Series installment. Making this one was great fun. As someone who spends most of their DME time in STK, it's always a pleasant surprise to see just how quickly I can pair ODTK with an STK session to visualise and better understand my satellite orbit determination solutions. 📹 Check out the DME Blog writeup below, or find the video on Leap's Youtube here: https://lnkd.in/gpuaFBYg and sit back as I run through a basic orbit determination workflow start to finish. There's a lot more to tackle with ODTK including surface vehicle positioning, deep space missions, and large constellations. So as always keep your eyes peeled. #OrbitDetermination #DME #Ansys #STK #Satellite #ODTK
