Abstract :
The combined-GEO-IGSO constellation is the combination of GEO (geostationary earth orbit) satellite and IGSO (inclining geostationary synchronized orbit) satellite. The combined-GEO-IGSO constellation can integrate the advantages of GEO and IGSO to achieve regional coverage. The simulation results show that: the combined constellation can reach higher multi-sat coverage and higher communication elevation in China and surrounding areas; the Doppler shift, delay and propagation loss of this constellation have little impact on the system. As regional coverage constellation, the combined-GEO-IGSO is feasible.
