Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a strategy to maximise the available bandwidth to Earth of a satellite constellation through inter-satellite links. Optimal signal routing is achieved by mimicking the way in which ant colonies locate food sources, where the 'ants' are explorative data packets aiming to find a near-optimal route to Earth. Demonstrating the method on a case-study of a space weather monitoring constellation; we show the real-time downloadable rate to Earth.
