  2. The second section addresses technical issues covering the Global-Sat Constellation concept of operations framework wherein dedicated payloads can be built all over the world and integration done in states that build the payloads.

    Additionally, issues covering common ground segment, common launch interface and deployment system, inter-satellite communication system, and availability of spares across all participants will be described, which would reflect the needs and input from all the international stakeholders. Basic tenants for a collaborative frame work are proposed including data collection and distribution, value added services, leveraging of partner resources, cost structures and responsibilities.
