Abstract(in English) In designing a satellite constellation, many factors have to be taken into account including transmission delay, service coverage, minimum mobile terminal elevation and space radiation effect. In our project, LEO constellation with Inter-Satellite Links(ISLs) is assumed from the point that the low delay is one of the key factors of successful multimedia communications services. The LEO constellation parameters such as orbital altitude, orbit inclination, number of satellites, number of orbital planes are discussed in this papers. For example, the effects of Van Allen radiation belts and South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is considered in choosing the orbital altitude and the orbit inclination. The constellation parameters are also investigated from the point of ISL configuration.
