Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Satellite communications provides characteristics such as wide-area coverage and flexibility of network construction. Since an enormous budget and time are required for satellite development, however, it is difficult to implement the latest techniques onboard. Even if the latest communications technology is implemented at the time of launch, it is impossible to follow paradigm shifts in terrestrial network technology. In this paper, we propose a reconfigurable communication satellite system based on the formation-flight technique and inter-satellite communication technology. This satellite system consists of a group of layered satellites that can operate together like one satellite.
