Constellation

A satellite constellation refers to a group or network of satellites that are strategically positioned in space and work together to achieve a common objective. These satellites are organised and deployed in a specific configuration to provide coverage over a designated area or to perform a particular function.

Satellite constellations serve a variety of purposes, ranging from communication and navigation to Earth observation and scientific research. They enable enhanced capabilities and ensure continuous service by leveraging the combined capabilities of multiple satellites working in coordination.
