ITU-R SA.1018-1 Annex 1 Introduction Communication between the ground and low-Earth orbiting spacecraft and launch vehicles used for

28、 space research, Earth exploration and other purposes is essential. Such communications may be required to be continuous or near-continuous, or may be required while the spacecraft are passing over specific points on the Earths surface. Land based earth stations have only a limited visibility and ex

29、isting stations are only capable of covering a portion of any low-Earth orbit. Moreover, it is not economically or practically feasible to extend networks of land-based stations to provide full or more complete coverage of the low-Earth orbits. In contrast, a data relay satellite (DRS) system includ

30、ing one or more DRS satellites in geostationary orbit has substantially larger visibility of the low-Earth orbits used by these satellites than existing land-based earth stations, and can therefore provide significantly enhanced coverage. A single DRS satellite in geostationary orbit can provide com

31、munications between an earth station and a low-orbiting spacecraft for more than one-half of its orbit. Two such DRSs, suitably located in geostationary orbit, with a wide separation angle, can provide communications between two co-located earth stations and a low-orbiting spacecraft almost continuo

32、usly, with the exception only of a zone of exclusion (ZOE), above the part of the Earth opposite to these earth stations. Moreover; two such DRSs, suitably placed in geostationary orbit, can provide fully-continuous coverage between two separate earth stations and a low-orbiting spacecraft. A DRS sy

33、stem can also serve additional earth stations, either both transmitting and receiving or only receiving signals from user spacecraft. 2 Description of the data relay satellite network/system A DRS consists of one or more DRS spacecraft in geostationary orbit and one or more DRS earth stations. The s

34、ystem relays information between the earth station(s) and DRS users, which can include low-Earth orbiting spacecraft, launch vehicles, and even ground based or aeronautical platforms. A DRS system must be capable of supporting at least four distinct links: an Earth-to-space link in the forward direc

35、tion, from the earth station to the data relay satellite (known as the uplink or the forward feeder link); a space-to-space link in the forward direction, from the data relay satellite to the low orbit spacecraft (known as the forward inter-orbit link); a space-to-space link in the return direction,

36、 from the low orbit spacecraft to the data relay satellite (known as the return inter-orbit link); and a space-to-Earth link in the return direction, from the data relay satellite to the earth station (known as the downlink or the return feeder link). In the forward direction, the input to the DRS s

37、ystem reference architecture corresponds to the baseband data provided at the input of the DRS earth station modulator which modulates the feeder uplink carrier. This baseband data typically consists of command data and (in the case of manned missions) voice and video information. It is provided to

38、the DRS earth station over an external interface (landline communication, RF terrestrial link, etc.) by the Mission Operations Control Center (MOCC) responsible for the user spacecraft. Note that the MOCC and the external interface to the DRS earth station are not part of the reference architecture.

39、 For the case of a demodulating receiver on board the user spacecraft, the output of the DRS system reference architecture in the forward direction corresponds to the output of the demodulator on board the user satellite. For the case of a repeater on board the user spacecraft, it corresponds to the

40、 output of the earth station demodulator receiving the return feeder link signal. Rec. ITU-R SA.1018-1 5 In the return direction, the input to the DRS reference architecture corresponds to the input of the user spacecraft modulator carrying out the translation from the baseband to the radio-frequency carrier. This baseband data typically consists of real-time and/or recorded scientific data, or for manned missions, voice and video information. The output of the reference architecture corresponds to the output of the earth station demodulator carrying out the reverse operation.
