摘要

当前，全球低轨卫星星座建设和卫星互联网商业化进程加速推进，一个全球覆盖、泛在互联、深度融合的卫星通信网络正加快成形。星链是由美国太空探索技术公司提出的巨型卫星互联网星座计划，该计划旨在通过部署数万颗低轨卫星为全球用户提供高速、低时延的卫星互联网服务，目前已成为全球卫星数量最多、用户规模最大、应用场景最广、技术体制最先进的卫星互联网星座。基于此，首先对包括星座构型和轨道设计、卫星平台设计、通信体制设计、干扰规避技术等的星链星座技术体制进行分析；随后在此分析基础上描述星链当前面临的严峻挑战，并展望星链未来的发展趋势；最后给出星链对我国低轨卫星星座建设的启示。

Abstract

At present

the construction of global low-orbit satellite constellations and the commercialization process of satellite internet are accelerating

and a satellite communication network with global coverage

ubiquitous interconnection and deep integration is taking shape at a fast pace. Starlink is a giant satellite internet constellation project proposed by SpaceX

the plan aims to provide high-speed and low-latency satellite internet services to global users by deploying tens of thousands of low-orbit satellites. Currently

it has become the satellite internet constellation with the largest number of satellites

the largest user base

the widest application scenarios

and the most advanced technical system in the world. Based on this

the technical system of the Starlink constellation is first analyzed

including constellation configuration and orbit design

satellite platform design

communication system design

and interference avoidance technology. Subsequently

based on the analysis

the severe challenges currently faced by Starlink are outlined

and the future development trends of Starlink are explored. Finally

the implications of Starlink for the construction of China's low-orbit satellite constellations are presented.
