- JshWright 6y agoI'm not the commenter you're repling to, but personally I think I originally learned about the SAA from a Scott Manley video.
- iso947 6y agoI suspect this one, explaining the various parts of mission control https://youtu.be/6zFAme3SQAo https://youtu.be/6zFAme3SQAo
- cuSetanta 6y agoNot the original commenter but I am in the industry, and its true, many satellites shut down during this region over the South Atlantic. For that reason, it is not a popular orbit unless there is a larger driver behind the selection. For example the ISS goes right through it in order to be above Russia for a reasonable portion of its orbit. I believe Astronauts have reported increases in optical flashes during this part of the orbit as more energetic particles pass through their eyes.
