This whole field is currently undergoing a major overhaul, as it is mainly focused on non-stationary low-layer satellites (LEO/VLEO). The development of several satellite constellations is justified by the expected explosion in digital mobile services for every country in the world, as well as the opening up of numerous low-cost applications focused on ecology. At the same time,...
