Characterization of Mega-Constellation Links for LEO Missions With Applications to EO and ISS Use Cases

Satellite missions demand ever greater connectivity, especially in the LEO regime. In this paper, we introduce the new mega-constellation services in space paradigm: we show that mega-constellations, deployed to offer innovative services to Earth’s users, can provide excellent connectivit...
