A Topology Control Strategy with Reliability Assurance for Satellite Cluster Networks in Earth Observation

This article investigates the dynamic topology control problemof satellite cluster networks (SCNs) in Earth observation (EO) missions by applying a novel metric of stability for inter-satellite links (ISLs). The properties of the periodicity and predictability of satellites’ relative position are in...
