To enable thesimulation of satellite-based communication, our platform adopts the OS3 module, which is alsobased on OMNet++[21]. OS3 is able to automatically import actual satellite tracks and weatherinformation to simulate complex scenarios at a certain point in time series. Moreover, it isextendable for more complicated and thorough analysis tasks and supports the calculation oftypical measures such as SNR, BER, and packet loss, which makes it possible for the researchersand teaching faculty to customize or further develop simulation modules related to dronenavigation systems.Towards the laboratory platform and
