摘要 |
The instant invention comprises a method and arrangement for station keeping a geostationary satellite cluster, employing an optical intersatellite connection constituted of a number of satellites (14F to 14K), which are located in a common, limited area, for example 0.1, on the geostationary orbit. In this case the position of the satellite cluster is determined by the temporarily selected master satellite (14J), which receives its correction commands via a ground station (17) and which sees to it that such corrections are simultaneously performed by the remaining satellites of the cluster.
