Satellite Ground Tracks
A mission-control map of a fictional planet: three satellites trace sine-wave ground tracks with fading tails, coverage footprints stretch toward the poles, the night side slides west, and ground stations ping and log contact when a satellite passes over.

About this style
A ground track is the path traced on the surface beneath an orbiting satellite. On a flat equirectangular map an inclined orbit draws a sine wave, and because the planet turns underneath, each pass lands further west. Mission control screens show these tracks with each satellite's coverage footprint, the day and night line and the ground stations that can talk to it, so operators can see at a glance who is in contact and who is next.
