 TSAT's Internet Protocol (IP) routing would connect thousands of users through
networks rather than limited point-to-point connections.TSAT would have enabled high data rate connections to Space and Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance,
and Reconnaissance (SISR, AISR) platforms.The TSAT program was planned as a five satellite constellation (a sixth satellite was planned as a spare to ensure mission availability), TSAT satellite operations centers
(TSOC) for on-orbit control, TSAT Mission Operations Systems (TMOS) to provide network management, and ground gateways.
