- gpm 7y agoI've seen this simulation of what initial coverage should look like (ignoring ground stations): https://streamable.com/3lbqj https://streamable.com/3lbqj Southern Canada/Northern US is where I presume they will actually do testing, but they should be able to provide reasonable-ish (eyeballing at >80%) uptime across most of the world provided they can get ground stations. They'll continue to launch satellites past the first 6 launches too, so coverage should dramatically improve by the end of the year compared to a June or August launch.
