Doug: You got it. Go to loralskynet.com and look at the coverage of the various beams on the Telstar fleet. For a look at some more interesting coverage patterns, go to intelsat.int and check out their maps. They have much more interesting coverage than Telstar. Orion is better yet, with an orbital slot over the Atlantic allowing focused spot beam coverage of the US and Europe. Orion 3 will offer the same over the Pacific. Coverage maps at their website as well. Europe*Star 1 will have 5 widely distant areas where the beams will be focused--i.e. India, South Africa, etc. In other words, it all depends on the target market, the use, and how much power you want pointed and where.
