Systems, methods, and apparatus for enhanced partial processing of satellite user data are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a disclosed method for processing satellite data comprises encoding with an outer encoder in a transmitting terminal, modulating with a transmit modulator in the transmitting terminal, demodulating with a satellite demodulator in a satellite, encoding with an inner encoder in the satellite, modulating with a satellite modulator in the satellite, demodulating with a receive demodulator in a receiving terminal, decoding with an inner decoder in the receiving terminal, and decoding with an outer decoder in the receiving terminal. In one or more embodiments, the outer encoder and/or the inner encoder is operable to perform forward error correction (FEC) encoding. In at least one embodiment, the outer decoder and/or the inner decoder is operable to perform FEC decoding.
