Abstract

This paper presents the concept of an onboard information hub as a part of the Russian Orbital Station (ROS). The hub is intended for receiving, storing, processing, and transmitting large volumes of data. The general structure of the hub is described. Additionally, analysis of the optimal orbital configuration of the station is investigated. Three different orbital inclinations are compared to satisfy both the requirements of the proposed concept and other potential tasks of the ROS. A concept of the information hub will integrate the Russian satellite constellation with the orbital station. The main load of data transmission and processing could be moved from the satellites to the station itself, which will significantly increase the efficiency of data exchange for satellites, constellations, and the scientific experiments to be conducted onboard the Russian Orbital Station.
