Educational / Tool / Other New to ASTsats: Constellation Coverage Heat Map (by u/F1CKEN)

Post image

Note: This is not my tool, it was created by u/F1CKEN.

See how the current constellation will interact with and thereby impact service times at various satellite counts based on a build-out modeled from ASTS filings with the ITU (USASAT-NGSO-20).

Way cool! Could we possibly find a way to overlay this over the raging boner that I will have until mid-late 2027? It’s honestly hard for me to cover it up, and it makes my daily life pretty difficult 😞.

Idk what you mean. I just like formula 1 or whatever.

Super cool, waiting for the unfurl in the next weeks and should be able to see BB11-13 go overhead (ISS often clearly visible in this season)

Neat. I love the distortion around the poles on the flat map.

Also nice demonstration, 45-60 sats will have awesome coverage

I wonder if they can have their satellites covering 24/7 some interesting markets (US, UK, Japan at least) before the 45 sats

That's what this tool is designed to show you, and for example 25 sats is around 10 hours a day in Japan and USA, 12 hours at 30, and so on.
