Questions about the resources
- What is in the LeoSatNetwork resources section?
- Tools, datasets, official reports and videos we reviewed for the satellite connectivity sector: Starlink monitoring scripts, orbital data such as CelesTrak, tracking maps, SpaceX's own performance report, spectrum policy briefings and constellation explainers. Each entry carries our own write-up: what it is, what you can do with it, who it is for, and its limits.
- Are the resources free to use?
- Most are: the open-source tools, the orbital datasets, the videos and the official documents cost nothing. Commercial platforms (a NOC connector, a managed service, a space-tracking platform) are marked as such in their write-up, with what the free tier includes when there is one.
- How do you choose and check a resource?
- We keep a resource when it answers a practical question for a buyer, an installer, a reseller or an analyst, and when we could verify it on its source on a stated date: repository activity, publisher, publication date, figures. Dead links and low-value videos are archived rather than left in place.
