Aug 16, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/640565
Inventors:
John E. Draim - Vienna VA
Assignee:
Mobile Communications Holdings, Inc. - Washington DC

Redundant Satellite System

View page
US Patent:
6487476, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Sep 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/160478
Inventors:
John E. Draim - Vienna VA
Assignee:
ESBH, Inc. - Washington DC
International Classification:
H04B 7185
US Classification:
701 13, 701226, 244158 R, 455 131
Abstract:
A diversity satellite system using a trailer satellite concept. The main satellite is placed into orbit and the trailer satellite, typically a much smaller satellite, is in orbit with the main satellite. The main satellite and trailer satellite are communicating with one another by crosslinks. In this way, two alternative geometric configurations are possible: a first geometric configuration direct from the ground station to the first satellite, and a second geometric configuration to the main satellite from the ground station via the trailer satellite. This enables avoiding interference.

Elliptical Satellite System Which Emulates The Characteristics Of Geosynchronous Satellites

View page
US Patent:
6577864, Jun 10, 2003
Filed:
Feb 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/775786
Inventors:
David Castiel - Washington DC
John Draim - Vienna VA
Kenneth F. Manning - McLean VA
Assignee:
Virtual Geosatellite, LLC - Washington DC
International Classification:
H04Q 720
US Classification:
455427, 455430, 455 121
Abstract:
An elliptical satellite system which carries out communication. The satellite orbits a height above the earth less than that necessary for geosynchronous orbits. When the satellite is near the apogee portion of its orbit, its velocity approximates the rotational velocity of the earth, and during that period it appears to hover over the earth. Each ground station on the earth always communicates a satellite within a predetermined position of its apogee, and hence that satellite appears to the ground station to hover over the earth. The satellite hence does not communicate with any earth station when it is outside of that apogee portion. During the times when the satellite is outside the apogee portion, its communication is therefore shut off to prevent any possibility of interfering with geosynchronous satellites. During this time, the power supply on the satellite is also used to charge a battery on the satellite. This enables the power supply to be made smaller by an amount equivalent to the duty cycle of the satellite: during the time which it is on.

US Patent:
6678519, Jan 13, 2004
Filed:
Jun 25, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/892132
Inventors:
David Castiel - Washington DC
John Draim - Vienna VA
Kenneth F. Manning - McLean VA
Assignee:
Virtual Geosatellite, LLC - Washington DC
International Classification:
H04Q 720
US Classification:
455427, 455430, 455 121, 455 132, 455 133, 455428, 455429, 342356, 244158
Abstract:
An elliptical satellite communication system including a constellation of satellites which orbit the earth at a height less than that necessary for geosynchronous orbits but which simulate the characteristics of geosynchronous orbits. The satellites velocity near the apogee portion of their orbit approximates the rotational velocity of the earth, and during that period appear to hover over the earth. The ground stations on the earth always communicate with a satellite at or near its apogee, and hence that satellite appears to the ground station to hover over the earth. During the times when the satellite is outside the apogee portion, its communication is shut off to prevent any possibility of interfering with geosynchronous satellites and its power supply is used to charge a battery on the satellite. Thus, the power supply of the system can be reduced by an amount equivalent to the percentage of time the satellite is not used.

System And Method For Implementing A Constellation Of Non-Geostationary Satellites That Does Not Interfere With The Geostationary Satellite Ring

View page
US Patent:
6701126, Mar 2, 2004
Filed:
Nov 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/709280
Inventors:
John E. Draim - Vienna VA
Assignee:
Space Resource International Ltd. - Washington DC
International Classification:
H04B 7185
US Classification:
455 131, 455 121, 455 132, 455427
Abstract:
Provided is an improved system and method for implementing a constellation of satellites in inclined elliptical orbits. The satellites are operated during the portion of their orbits near apogee to emulate the characteristics of geostationary satellites. The orbits are configured to form a number of closely spaced repeating ground tracks around the earth. In each ground track the satellites operate only in arcs well above or below the equator to provide a large number of non-geostationary orbital slots that substantially increase global satellite capacity without interfering with the existing geostationary satellite ring. Minimum spacing is maintained between satellites in each active arc and between satellites in the active arcs of adjacent ground tracks to ensure that the satellites in the non-geostationary constellation do not interfere with each other.

System And Method For Implementing A Constellation Of Non-Geostationary Satellites That Provides Simplified Satellite Tracking

View page
US Patent:
6714521, Mar 30, 2004
Filed:
Dec 29, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/750047
Inventors:
John E. Draim - Vienna VA
Assignee:
Space Resources International Ltd. - Washington DC
International Classification:
H04B 7185
US Classification:
370316, 455427, 455431
Abstract:
Provided is a system and method for implementing a constellation of satellites in inclined elliptical orbits that provides simplified satellite tracking for ground stations on the earth. The satellite orbits form a pair of repeating ground tracks around the earth. In each ground track the satellites operate only in active arcs well above or below the equator, emulating many of the characteristics of geostationary satellites. The parameters of the satellite orbits are adjusted so that the end points of the active arcs in the two ground tracks coincide; the turn-off point of an active arc in one ground track being the same as the turn-on point of an active arc in the other. For a ground station served by the satellites in these arcs, the active satellites appear to be moving slowly in one direction around a closed, teardrop-shaped path in the sky, at a generally high elevation angle.
