[pct-l] SPOT coverage

[Nathan Dreon]

The Globalstar Wiki page says the satellites orbit at 52 degrees inclination, which means they will fly over every state in the US and much of Canada.  So any sky you can see in Washington might have a Globalstar satellite in it.


I think the coverage map shows coverage as overlapping circles because a satellite must be able to see a ground station to forward a message.  The circles are drawn around the ground stations.  They overlap in areas where a satellite can see more than one ground station.
