Abstract
Methods of providing a feeder link between a first substantially geo-stationary satellite and a satellite gateway include establishing a communications link between the satellite gateway and a second substantially geo-stationary satellite, establishing an inter-satellite communications link between the first substantially geo-stationary satellite and the second substantially geo-stationary satellite, and communicating between the first substantially geo-stationary satellite and the satellite gateway via the inter-satellite communications link and the communications link. A satellite communications system includes first and second substantially geo-stationary satellites configured to establish an inter-satellite communications link therebetween, and a satellite gateway configured to establish a direct feeder link with one of the first and second substantially geo-stationary satellites and to establish an indirect feeder link with the other of the first and second substantially geo-stationary satellites using the inter-satellite communications link and the direct feeder link.
