Abstract :
Developed to compute the power profile of LEO satellites, this computer tool takes into account the stations visibility areas (ground based or GEO relays) the coverage of geographical zones defined by points, and logical conditions of equipments (swath angles, preheating, logical interd??pendance). The results are visualized through power curves and earth maps.
