Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can be efficiently used in land mobile satellite (LMS) communications in order to increase link availability, coverage and reliability. In this letter, we study -for first time in the literature- the outage performance of an uplink LMS system consisting of two terrestrial user nodes which perform NOMA in the uplink, with either successive interference cancellation or joint decoding at the satellite receiver. Closed-form expressions for the outage probability are derived for both cases assuming composite shadowed-Rician fading channels. Finally, numerical results and simulations validate the theoretical analysis.
