Starlink Partial Deployment (792 satellites)

This is a simulation of Starlink with 792 satellites deployed. In this simulation, I use the narrower coverage zone from SpaceX’s FCC filings, allowing access down to 40 degrees above the horizon, as opposed to 25 degrees with the earlier deployment. With 792 satellites and the narrower beam, this doesn’t quite provide 100% coverage in the US. Likely, in these locations the wider beam coverage could be used. Parameters are mainly taken from SpaceX FCC filings, but I have extrapolated some parameters.
