At the present stage, space activities are the key to the technological, economic, and military-political development of Russia and its regions, and to a large extent determine the position in the global community. The implementation of deployed and functioning systems has shown that satellite communications is becoming widespread and in demand everywhere, taking into account the complex technical, financial and time constraints of satellite communications systems (SSS) and becoming an accessible form of communication. Currently, low-orbit communication systems (LSS) are the most promising. The analysis of the works on the subject of NOSS allowed us to formulate a number of problems related to their creation and operation. It is necessary to speed up the transmission of messages via NOS. It is necessary to reduce the mass, size and energy consumption of the on-board RSRF repeater. It is required to optimize the RSRF mobility relative to the Earth's surface and subscribers. Subscribers need to select an optimal set of RFMS for message package delivery. The problem of LSS payback is acute.

To carry out a systematic analysis of ways to develop promising satellite communication systems based on domestic and foreign publications for the successful application and payback of promising NOSS groups with a significant reduction in the cost of satellites and the approximation of inter-satellite communication channels in terms of capabilities to their terrestrial alternatives. A systematic analysis of problematic issues of domestic and foreign satellite communication systems, as well as a study of the global market, made it possible to assess the existing scientific and technical groundwork in the field of broadband communications in a low-orbit system with multiple retransmissions of subscriber information through inter-satellite paths and identify ways to develop satellite communication systems. It is necessary to develop scientifically based technical and technological solutions for the development of LSS. These solutions should increase efficiency and reliability within the specified time and financial constraints. They must ensure the global delivery of broadband information to consumers around the world. They should also allow reasonable prediction of the LSS creation timeline in Russia’s current conditions. This is important for the developing and ensuring the country's defense capability.

The results of the system analysis determine the ways of LSS development. These paths include solving the problem of fast data routing on board the satellite (for data transmission between networks). They also solve the problem of fast switching (for data transmission within the network). This allows satellites to function as an independent part of the communications system, and not just as an addition to ground stations. Such satellites can transmit data to subscribers, bypassing the ground segment.
