In recent years, satellite communications have become the focus of research on space–air–ground–sea integrated wireless communication networks because of their wide coverage. Due to the broadcasting nature of satellite communications, the security of satellite systems has become a critical issue. In this article, we study the secure transmission of satellite communications, focusing on the geostationary earth orbit (GEO) and low earth orbit (LEO) satellite scenarios, respectively. Because of the satellite's high mobility and long propagation delays, the transmitter side cannot obtain accurate channel state information (CSI). To this end, we establish the channel phase uncertainty model of GEO satellite users, the channel angle uncertainty model of LEO satellite users, and the norm-bounded model of eavesdroppers, respectively. Then, a corresponding robust secure transmission design is proposed. Since the resulting optimization problems are nonconvex and challenging to handle, we propose an algorithm that transforms the original problem into a series of convex optimization subproblems and obtains the beamforming weight vectors through iterative calculation. Simulation results indicate that the security and robustness performance of the proposed algorithms are significantly improved compared with the conventional baselines.
