Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium whose contents cause at least one land- or sea-based communications terminal to perform a method to process data for wireless transmission to at least one satellite in a non-geostationary orbit, wherein the satellite is configured to store and forward data packages to a destination terminal, the method comprising: at the communications terminal, receiving at a first time a large data file of at least 10 gigabytes, at the communications terminal, dividing the large data file into multiple smaller groups of data; at the communications terminal, coding the large data file for error correction after transmission of the large data file; determining whether a quality of a wireless, high bandwidth communications channel with the satellite is acceptable; at the communications terminal, and at a second time after the first time, transmitting the divided and coded large data file to the satellite, providing information to the satellite regarding the destination terminal,
