Toward Real-time Earth Observation with Satellite Constellation Crosslinks and Propulsion

The development of remote sensing small satellite constellations has created the potential for high-resolution Earth-observation data to reach end users faster. This work investigates how propulsion and intersatellite links enable constellations to continuously collect and deliver data faster than c...
