3D Globe version of Satellite Footprints Using Leaflet + D3. Only uses D3, not Leaflet or Three.js Based off of Brian Swedberg's block.
Projects the conical footprints of satellites on a globe rendered by D3. Each satellite is assigned a random half angle that defines a conical field of view from its position at a certain time.
As with Brian's block, this maps 3 different types of satellites:
- Geosynchronous orbits (GEO) and potentially geostationary; high altitude
- Medium-Earth orbits (MEO); mid altitude
- Low-Earth orbits (LEO); low altitude
