Abstract: Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is one of the key technologies in 6G network, wherein satellite integrated sensing and communication is an important part. This paper discusses the satellite ISAC network and its key technologies. Firstly, the satellite ISAC network architecture is introduced in detail, including the space-based, air-based and ground-based networks that cooperate with each other. Then, the key technologies of satellite ISAC are discussed, including ISAC beamforming, ISAC waveform design, inter-satellite link technology, on-satellite processing technology, and satellite antenna technology. Finally, several future research directions are explored, including ISAC with massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO), space-air-ground ISAC network security, and new antenna structure, in order to promote the progress of 6G satellite ISAC technology.
