Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0211316A1] The invention concerns a telecommunication method using a constellation of earth satellites whereby communications between distant terminals are carried out via several satellites by direct link communication. Said method is characterised in that the constellation of satellites has, at all times, on the earth a trace formed by a single curve (26), and the communications are transmitted from one satellite to another along said single curve. Said constellation is, for example, of the Walker-type.
