This paper describes a conceptual system design for a satellite-based aeronautical safety communications system capable of serving both general aviation aircraft and commercial aviation aircraft in the contiguous U.S. in the mid-1990s. The space segment is described, including satellite locations and coverage, spacecraft configuration, eclipse capability and stationkeeping, transponder design, and mass and power. The spacecraft mass and power budgets are given. The air mobile terminals, ground segment, and frequency plan and channelization are discussed, and the data rate, modulation/demodulation/coding, and channel spacing are considered. The message format, frequency control, system capacity, and system sensitivity are discussed.
