Signal from space
Satellite coverage refers to the geographic area where signals from a satellite can be received, or the extent to which satellites provide service to a region.
Broadcasting and telecommunications use the term for signal availability: The stadium has satellite coverage for the game.
It also describes news reporting via satellite link: CNN provided live satellite coverage of the summit.
In navigation and mapping, it indicates GPS satellite visibility: We lost satellite coverage in the canyon.
