摘要：
Communication between a nanosatellite located in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and a ground station is limited in regions far from the poles, occurring for only a few minutes on different days and at different times. By utilizing satellite-to-satellite communication, it is possible to transmit and receive information more efficiently, circumventing the restrictions inherent in satellite-ground station links. The objective of this study is to present a comparative report on the results of data transmission through inter-satellite and satellite-to-ground station communication, focusing on a 1U CubeSat nanosatellite (AztechSat-1). This paper discusses the use of the GlobalStar network and a nanosatellite for inter-satellite communication. This paper also discusses the use of proprietary and open-source ground stations for satellite-ground communication. We provide an overview of the GlobalStar network and the associated ground stations involved in this research, along with the results and their subsequent analysis.
