1. A system comprising:

  • a geostationary earth orbit (GEO)-based communication satellite (ComSat) configured to provide a communication link, the communication link being a persistent and on-demand communication link; and

    one or more space vehicles configured to communicate with the GEO-based ComSat using the communication link employing a Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) compliant wideband code-division multiple-access (WCDMA) waveform within an ultra-high frequency (UHF) band,wherein;

    the one or more space vehicles are configured to travel around the Earth in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO), andeach of the one or more space vehicles includes radio circuitry configured to enable communicating over the UHF band used by the communication link.
