Abstract

See full text

A telecommunications system for intermittent data transfer from and to at least one user located substantially on the surface of a celestial body. The system comprises at least one surface transmitter/receiver terminal associated with each user, one or more signal repeater means for the signals transmitted and/or received from the surface terminals. Each moving repeater means has at least one antenna oriented toward the surface of the celestial body, and adapted to allow communications from and to surface terminals. Each antenna produces a transmission/reception beam, the track of which on the surface of the celestial body forms the ground track, the progressive sweeping of the surface by this ground track forming a strip called a swath.
