Abstract
Low-orbit satellites have the advantages of low latency, low cost, and flexible launching. They are the main direction for the development of next-generation satellite communications. Based on the STK analysis and simulation of the existing low-orbit satellite constellations, this article found that most of the current polar orbiting constellations can be seen at the same time near the equator, and the inclined orbits cannot cover the earth’s poles. Therefore, a constellation with a polar orbit and an inclined orbit is designed to achieve global coverage under the conditions of reasonable number and cost of satellites and more optimized coverage performance. Lay the foundation for the network design of the future LEO satellite constellation.
