contents This paper proposes a robust resource allocation framework for a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-enabled simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system, assisted by a ground-deployed simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS). We consider a scenario where direct satellite-to-ground links are obstructed, and the satellite serves multiple single-antenna energy receivers, information receivers, and eavesdroppers exclusively via the STAR-RIS. A robust optimization problem is formulated to maximize the total harvested power, subject to secrecy rate requirements, transmit power limits, and STAR-RIS coefficient constraints, under a practical bounded channel state information (CSI) error model. To achieve optimal robust resource allocation, we address the challenges posed by coupled optimization variables and bounded channel estimation errors by first applying the S-procedure to handle robustness against channel uncertainty. An alternating optimization (AO) framework is subsequently proposed, where the active beamforming at the LEO satellite and the passive beamforming at the STAR-RIS are jointly optimized, and a penalty-based strategy is incorporated to enforce the STAR-RIS beamforming design. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and demonstrate that the STAR-RIS architecture achieves substantial performance gains in total harvested power over conventional RIS and other baseline schemes.
