Mercator Projection Superposition: A Computationally Efficient Alternative to Grid-Based Coverage Analysis for LEO Mega-Constellations

Grid point approaches for LEO mega-constellation coverage analysis become computationally prohibitive for constellations exceeding 10<sup>3</sup> satellites due to exponential complexity growth. This paper presents the Mercator projection superposition (MPS) approach, which transforms co...
