Annex 1 Introduction Communication between the ground and low-Earth orbiting spacecraft and launch vehicles used for space research, Earth exploration and other purposes i

25、s 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 existing stations are only capable of covering a portion

26、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 including one or more DRS satellites in geostationary orbit h

27、as 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 communications between an earth station and a low-orbiting

28、 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 continuously, with the exception only of a zone of exclusion (Z

29、OE), 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 system can also serve 4 Rec. ITU-R SA.1019-1 additional e

30、arth 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 system relays information between

31、 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 direction, from the earth station to

32、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, from the low orbit spacecraft t

33、o 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 system reference architecture cor

34、responds 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 the DRS earth station over an ex

35、ternal 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. For the case of a demodulating

36、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 output of the earth station dem

37、odulator receiving the return feeder link signal. 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 rea

38、l-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. 3 Frequency bands and transmission directions Each of the DRS system ar

39、chitecture links defined in 2 must necessarily transmit in a separate frequency band, with a guard band between the signals transmitted from and those received by the data relay satellite. In determination of the frequency bands for these links, there are many factors to consider. These include the

40、allocation status and bandwidth of available bands, antenna beam width and propagation characteristics. It is noted that the choice of a common frequency band for different data relay satellite networks/systems requires the consideration of interoperability between user spacecraft designed to use on

41、e DRS system and data relay satellites of another DRS system. For the forward and return inter-orbit links, the characteristics of the wide variety of different types of DRS users dictate the use of multiple bands. Some DRS user spacecraft require links of low data rate (up to about 6 Mbit/s) which

42、require modest bandwidths, and can be most economically implemented using low-power transmitters and simple wide-beam antennas without complex Rec. ITU-R SA.1019-1 5 pointing mechanisms along with robust receivers. Some other DRS user spacecraft require links from wide-beam or omnidirectional antenn

43、as (in particular to support contingency links) in cases where the attitude of the user spacecraft and the direction of the DRS is not accurately known. For these classes of DRS users, the use of inter-orbit link frequencies below 3 GHz is ideal. Other DRS user spacecraft require links of medium to

44、high data rates (from about 6 Mbit/s up to 600 Mbit/s) and therefore require the use of frequency bands for DRS inter-orbit links above 10 GHz. For the forward and return feeder links, it is noted that DRS systems could use either frequency bands allocated for the fixed satellite service or those al

45、located for the space research service and that there are a number of bands allocated with sufficient bandwidth to support the data transfer requirements of the inter-orbit links as described above. For nominal DRS satellite operations, these bands are also appropriate for DRS spacecraft command and telemetry. However for the launch, early-orbit-phase and emergency operations of DRS satellites, where omnidirectional antennas may be needed, a frequency band below 3 GHz is preferred.
