Abstract: A system, method and device for monitoring an aircraft, including activity taking place within an aircraft and conditions of the aircraft, where one or more a percepting component such as a camera, microphone, or other sensor, is situated at a location within the aircraft from which information may be ascertained. Preferably the component is disguised within the surfaces or instrumentation of the aircraft. The percepting component is connected with a communication mechanism to transmit communications from the system resident within the aircraft to a grounds portion of the system through a communication link, such as a satellite communication link. The system may process the information corresponding with the aircraft condition or activity and generate alerts when a trigger is met or exceeded. The system components on the aircraft may monitor conditions and activity without using or interfering with the aircraft instrumentation, the system using only the aircraft power.

Abstract: A system for re-using GEO-allocated communications spectrum in a LEO satellite constellation based communications system, such that the LEO satellite originated signals will not appear in the beam-width of GEO-pointed earth station antennas, and satellites configured to provide communications by manipulating their respective beam transmissions, which may include a forward beam and rearward beam whose angles are controlled to project the beam and reduce or eliminate the potential for interference with GEO-pointed earth station antennas. The system and LEO satellites may provide substantially 100% coverage of an earth station located anywhere on the surface of the earth, without coordination with the GEO satellites or GEO-pointing ground stations.
