Broadband constellations

A network that happens to orbit.

Shells, crosslinks and gateways. Arksa designs the constellation and simulates the network on it, then screens every conjunction and plans every deorbit.

01The system

Design the shell, wire the crosslinks, then prove the service.

Shells

Walker shells from a few numbers, or start from the 72-satellite template.

Crosslinks

Links exist only where terminals, range and line of sight allow.

Resilience

See the service hold when a link fails.

Size the shell by who is under it.

Change the shell and see how many satellites a user at each latitude can see.

FIG 02Latency against fibre

Light is faster in a vacuum.

Over long routes a crosslinked shell can beat fibre. These routes are computed live on this page on the example shell.

  • Crosslinked shell, shortest delay
  • Fibre, best case
Computing…Example shell, computed live on this page

Fibre is shown at its best case, so the comparison is fair. Arksa reports both for your own constellation.

02Traffic

Every customer, served.

Capacity and latency for every customer, end to end.

  • Routes hand over to the systems you run

FIG 04Conjunctions at scale

Screen the shell against the whole sky.

Screen the whole shell against the catalogue in one run.

  • Time of closest approach and miss distance
  • Probability of collision for every event

Leave the shell as you found it.

Lifetime against the 5- and 25-year rules, across low, medium and high solar activity.

03Scale

Big shells, big teams.

More seats, more compute and shared workspaces come with Team and above. Plans and pricing.

04Questions

Asked by network teams.

Yes. Network results export as CSV for the systems you run.
