US 2024/0201694 A1 · MISSION CRITICAL DATA DELIVERY BOOSTER DRONES FOR SATELLITE DATA CENTERS

Abstract

In an approach for amplifying a mission critical workload to a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite using a booster drone, responsive to receiving a first request to amplify a mission critical workload to a LEO satellite, a processor initiates a targeted service instance. A processor obtains a level of mission criticality of the first request by mapping the first request against a registry of applications and a respective level of mission criticality of the applications. A processor selects a booster drone from a drone delivery station. A processor determines a first geo-location from where a satellite data communication needs to be initiated. A processor determines a second geo-location of the LEO satellite to where the satellite data communication needs to be pushed. A processor generates one or more signal strength requirements. A processor amplifies the mission critical workload according to the one or more generated signal strength requirements.
