Claim 3:
4. The method of space communication as claimed in claim 1, furthermore comprising the following steps:
in a fourth step, executed after the third step, the at least one user terminal performs an acquisition of the carrier of the downlink DL data channel according to a carrier frequency identifier which was transmitted to it and starts listening for possible bursts transmitted on this DL carrier intended for it; and then
in a fifth step, the access module dispatches to the at least one user terminal through the downlink DL data channel, at a carrier frequency of the logical beam with which the at least one user terminal is associated, one or more bursts of data, associated with the logical beam of attachment of the at least one user terminal, said dispatching in the fifth step being performed on the plurality of the one or more associated physical emission beams of the space relay which at the given instant T overlap the entirety of and are associated with the logical beam of the at least one user terminal.
