Abstract
Disclosed is method for controlling satellite communication of satellite () flying on trajectory over the earth (). The method comprises providing first target location on surface of the earth; determining trajectory of satellite over the earth; identifying first interference restrictive area (), which satellite trajectory passes; determining elevation angle (δ, δ) in respect to satellite and first target location, wherein elevation angle is angle between horizontal plane of the earth and vector pointing from first target location to satellite along trajectory at given moment of time; and activating first communication beam () from satellite towards first target location when elevation angle is between activation angle (δ) and deactivation angle (δ). Activation angle is less than deactivation angle if first interference restrictive area is located in forward direction in respect to satellite motion along trajectory, and activation angle is more than deactivation angle if first interference restrictive area is located in backward direction in respect to satellite motion along trajectory.
