Abstract


Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite technology is emerging as a crucial tool in enhancing maritime safety and operational efficiency. This paper explores the significant role that LEO satellites play in revolutionizing maritime communication, navigation, and monitoring systems. With their ability to provide global coverage and real-time data transmission, LEO satellites address the limitations of traditional maritime communication infrastructure, particularly in remote and high-traffic areas. The paper discusses how LEO satellite technology improves vessel tracking, aids in emergency response, and enhances predictive analytics for weather and sea conditions. By examining case studies and current deployments, this paper highlights the potential of LEO satellites to transform maritime operations, ensuring safer and more efficient global shipping and navigation.

Keywords


LEO satellites, maritime safety, efficiency, navigation.
