Claim 14:
15. A sensor comprising:
a calculation unit for calculating a position of a satellite at a particular instant; and
a transmission unit for transmitting sensor data from the sensor to the satellite,
wherein the calculation unit is configured to calculate a coverage time period with aid of trajectory parameters of the satellite and a position of the sensor, wherein the coverage time period corresponds to a time period in which the sensor is located in a footprint region of the satellite,
wherein the transmission unit is configured to be activated during a transmission time period based on the calculated coverage time period, the coverage time period or a part thereof being selected as the transmission time period, and
wherein the transmission unit is furthermore configured to send the sensor data from the sensor to the satellite during the transmission time period.
