Abstract

This invention relates to low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication system, and discloses a method of remotely activating a deactivated tracking mechanism associated with the directional tracking antenna of a terrestrial user terminal of such a system when the user terminal is not in use during quiescent periods. The activated tracking mechanism enables the directional antenna to target a passing satellite of the system so that data can be transmitted to the user terminal during these periods. The method is accomplished by providing an omnidirectional auxiliary antenna and an associated receiver at the user terminal to receive a radio control signal which is selectively transmitted through the satellite to enable a control device that controls the tracking mechanism.
