Abstract
A satellite includes a plurality of transceivers, each configured to selectively connect to one of another transceiver in another satellite and a ground station; and configurable pass-through between the plurality of transceivers that is configured based on a location of the satellite in a constellation. The configurable pass-through can provide data signal pass-through without one or more of full decoding, regeneration, and error correction, thereby saving power.
