New Real-Time Earth Space Relay Service Will Provide Resilient, 用于优化低轨道空间任务数据传输的灵活可扩展通信链路

CARLSBAD, Calif., April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat Inc., (纳斯达克股票代码:VSAT)是一家全球通信公司，今天宣布它被选中 April 20^th by NASA to support its Communications Services Project (CSP), 它寻求通过与商业卫星通信(SATCOM)提供商合作来加速近地通信的发展. Aligned to the CSP objectives, Viasat is developing a space relay capability that will leverage its upcoming ViaSat-3 global satellite constellation, 新开发的终端将为低轨道航天器在全球轨道上随时随地提供按需和经济高效的通信服务.

Many satellites operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) routinely collect data, such as Earth and weather observations, radar measurements, space situational awareness, and other scientific data, that must be sent back to Earth in real-time. 选择如何将这些数据传回地球进行分析和分发, satellite operators often must consider a tradeoff between data latency, the time between data collection to when it is received back on Earth, and cost.

Viasat’s 现有的RTE服务已经降低了卫星运营商的成本，因为他们不需要建造和运营昂贵的卫星发射台, global network of ground station antennas to receive data from the LEO satellite; however, 运营商必须等到他们的卫星飞过地面站时才能下行数据. This introduces latency that can last from minutes to hours. Viasat’s 空间中继服务将为LEO运营商提供实时发送数据的能力, from any point in LEO orbit—leveraging the upcoming ViaSat-3 geostationary orbit (GEO) network, which will include three Terabit-class high-throughput satellites.

Viasat’s 综合空间中继网络将通过在RTE地面网络和RTE地面网络之间提供适应性传输选择，提供两全其美的服务 ViaSat-3. 这将为时间紧迫的用户提供一种经济实惠的选择，从而大大减少数据延迟, latency-sensitive data transfer, 同时每天提供多个机会，以极低的成本在全球地面网络上下行大量数据. The Viasat RTE network currently operates on five continents, with sites in North America, South America, Europe, Australia and Africa.

“Under NASA’s CSP program, Viasat 将加快部署其空间中继服务，以支持商业和政府NGSO运营商, 无论他们的太空飞行器的任务是执行大气分析还是快速移动数据，以支持处于战术边缘的作战人员,” said Craig Miller, president of Viasat Government Systems. “The Viasat 空间中继服务将通过改变数据进出空间飞行器的方式，提供超越传统数据中继能力的性能和规模, offering persistent coverage to large numbers of LEO users simultaneously, with real-time access virtually anywhere, including the polar regions. 该服务将为运营商提供独特的灵活性，可以根据任务需要在空间中继和直接对地RTE之间切换.”

Viasat 目前正在开发一个空间合格的ka波段终端，使LEO运营商能够访问 ViaSat-3 network for data transfer. 关于这一终端的更多资料可供设法评价其空间飞行器一体化的操作人员使用.
