Revisiting elliptical satellite orbits to enhance the O3b constellation

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2014-07-10 v1 Networking and Internet Architecture

Abstract

We propose an addition of known elliptical orbits to the new equatorial O3b satellite constellation, extending O3b to cover high latitudes and the Earth's poles. We simulate the O3b constellation and compare this to recent measurement of the first real Internet traffic across the newly deployed O3b network.
