LEO satellites of orbital planes are configured to communicate with at least one GEO satellite based at least on present line of sight. GEO satellites are configured to communicate with ground gateways and convert among uplink communications and optical communications of GEO-to-LEO optical links established with selected LEO satellites and comprising optical beams within a wavelength multiplexed arrangement individually assigned to corresponding LEO satellites in each orbital plane. Selected LEO satellites are configured to optically demultiplex a GEO-to-LEO optical link into local optical beams on optical fibers, direct a demultiplexed assigned optical beam of an incoming LEO optical link from a previous in-plane LEO satellite to an onboard destination with an optical splitter on a corresponding optical fiber, and multiplex the local optical beams on the optical fibers for an outgoing free space LEO optical link directed to a subsequent in-plane LEO satellite.
