Coverage within range of ground station

Open davidcomtois opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Due to the initial phase of satellites not communicating between satellites, yet... In order to send and receive data from a user terminal, the satellite that your user terminal communicates with must also see a ground station at the same time. Therefore, what is the coverage pattern of the satellites, while being able to contact a ground station and the target grid section at the same time? A checkbox perhaps, enable ground station data coverage?

I am looking for a good source of ground station data that ideally I don't have to manually keep up to date.

Once I can find a source of ground station data I should be able to make a layer to show the station data pretty easily.
