Our model builds upon the fundamentals of the Open Source Satellite Simulator (OS$^3$), which was ported to INET 4.3. We describe how the model was integrated on top of the INET and ported OS$^3$ Framework. We then experiment with the simulation model to demonstrate its viability in simulating LEO satellite constellations. This involved simulating both outdated and more recent satellite constellations, using FCC filing information, to validate latency results.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.12046v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.12046v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"developing-and-experimenting-with-leo","repo_url":"https://github.com/avian688/leosatellites","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"developing-and-experimenting-with-leo","repo_url":"https://github.com/avian688/os3","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
