Remote surgery is a promising medical technology that has the potential to revolutionize healthcare with the potential to provide life-saving care to patients in remote areas. However, one of the challenges facing this technology is the time delay associated with data transmission over conventional network infrastructures which makes it difficult to perform delicate procedures. CubeSats are a type of small satellite that can be used to overcome this challenge. CubeSats can be used to reduce the time delay by providing a low-cost, high-bandwidth communication link between the surgeon and the patient. In this report, we present the design and simulation using General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) software of a CubeSat constellation for 7 h remote surgery connecting two hospitals, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) in Sultanate of Oman and OSF children hospital in Illinois USA. We discuss the orbital design of the constellation to ensure that the satellites are always in view of both hospitals. The constellation must be designed to provide continuous coverage of the two hospitals, even as Earth rotates, as well as the challenges and solutions associated with this application.

摘要

Remote surgery is a promising medical technology that has the potential to revolutionize healthcare with the potential to provide life-saving care to patients in remote areas. However, one of the challenges facing this technology is the time delay associated with data transmission over conventional network infrastructures which makes it difficult to perform delicate procedures. CubeSats are a type of small satellite that can be used to overcome this challenge. CubeSats can be used to reduce the time delay by providing a low-cost, high-bandwidth communication link between the surgeon and the patient. In this report, we present the design and simulation using General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) software of a CubeSat constellation for 7 h remote surgery connecting two hospitals, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) in Sultanate of Oman and OSF children hospital in Illinois USA. We discuss the orbital design of the constellation to ensure that the satellites are always in view of both hospitals. The constellation must be designed to provide continuous coverage of the two hospitals, even as Earth rotates, as well as the challenges and solutions associated with this application.
