BeamFootprint

BeamFootprint is a web app (with optional mobile companion) that generates practical, decision-ready coverage maps for satellite communications and Earth-observation tasking. Users pick a satellite (or import TLE/ephemeris), antenna/beam parameters, frequency band, elevation mask, and time window; the app outputs coverage footprints, revisit/availability windows, and probability-of-coverage layers over custom AOIs. It’s not a pretty globe toy—it's built for engineers and ops who need to answer: “Will I have link here, when, and for how long?” It supports exporting GIS-ready outputs (GeoJSON/COG), simple link-budget sanity checks (EIRP, G/T, rain fade presets), and scenario comparisons (constellation A vs B). An AI assistant helps translate requirements (“need 99% availability over this corridor”) into parameters and flags unrealistic expectations. Data sources include public TLEs plus optional commercial ephemeris integrations.
