1. A method for the transmission to at least one non-geostationary satellite of at least one piece of data stored by a ground-based device, the method being carried out by the non-geostationary satellite and comprising:
performing periodically at least one radio coverage measurement,
computing a dynamic elevation emission criterion based on the last radio coverage measurement performed, and
emitting at least one signal periodically towards the Earth, the signal comprising at least the dynamic elevation emission criterion,
when the position of the non-geostationary satellite relative to the position of the ground-based device verifies the dynamic elevation emission criterion:
receiving at least one signal sent by the ground-based device, the signal comprising at least one piece of data stored by at least one ground-based device.
