A simulation, not telemetry from a mission. Reference sun-synchronous orbit at 500 km with the ascending node at 10:30 local solar time; your mission's orbit is set by the rideshare: [PENDING]. There is no ground station of our own: data leaves the satellite over a link with relay satellites, and that network's provider and orbit are [PENDING], so no link is drawn here. Computed with Kepler, J2 nodal precession, sidereal time and the Sun's position at the actual instant; spherical Earth, no atmospheric drag. The circle around the satellite is its geometric horizon at that altitude. Coastlines: Natural Earth 1:110m, public domain.
