Abstract

A satellite cluster consists of at least two module satellites (1, 2), which have communications devices (7, 8) for the exchange of data and / or for the transmission of signals, and of which each has a pay load component (5, 9), which defines the functions of the modular satellite in interaction which is attained by the communications devices.
