Abstract
Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for deploying communication networks in clusters of satellite devices. In one example, satellite devices are configured to orbit in an orbital layer defined by an orbital configuration. A communication network is formed among the satellite devices and configured to exchange communications in at least two oppositely circulating directions with respect to an orbital direction of the satellites in the orbital layer.
