Magellan uses the following: IA-8, AMC9, SatMEX 5, G4-R,
Horizons-1 and G-11
Below are the beam patterns or "footprints" of each satellite.
The rings
represent the signal strengths from of the satellites that fall
on North America.
The inner rings are the stronger signal strength. Each ring outside
the inner
ring becomes a slightly weaker signal.
