In some implementations, the satellite 400 includes a satellite body 404 having a payload that includes one of the communication devices 200. The satellite 400 may also include solar panels 408 mounted on the satellite body 404 for providing power to the satellite 400. In some examples, the satellite 400 may include rechargeable batteries used when sunlight is not reaching and charging the solar panels 408. The satellite 400 may include an antenna 420 for receiving and transmitting the communication signal 20 as well as a reaction control system (RCS) that uses thrusters to adjust the altitude and translation of the satellite 400 making sure that the satellite 400 stays in its orbit. The RCS may provide small amounts of thrusts in one or more directions and torque to allow control of the rotation of the satellite 400 (i.e., roll, pitch, and yaw).

Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, in some implementations, the HAP 500, e.g., 500a or 500b, may include the communication device 200. The HAP 500 may include an antenna system 510, e.g. 510a or 510b that receives/transmits a communication signal 20. The antenna system 510 may include a first antenna 512a that receives/transmits a communication signal 20 from a ground terminal 300, and/or a second antenna 512b that receives/transmits a communication from a satellite 400 or another HAP. In some examples, the antenna system 510 of the HAP 500 may be configured to track a position of one or more satellites 400 and/or other HAPs to maintain a communication link 22 between the HAP 500 and the satellite 400 and/or other HAPs.
