Abstract: A space-based electronic data storage and transfer network system is disclosed. The network system includes terrestrial access points, a plurality of geostationary communications satellites, and a plurality of communicatively coupled low-earth orbit data storage satellites. The terrestrial access point establishes a link or communication with a geostationary communications satellite which relays the link or communication to a low-earth orbit data storage satellite for storing information contained within the link or communication. The terrestrial access point can also establish a link or communication with a geostationary communications satellite which relays the link or communication to a low-earth orbit data storage satellite requesting retrieval of information stored within the link or communication. Any low-earth orbit data storage satellite can access data from any other low-earth orbit data storage satellite through the communicative coupling.
