Yes. It's fabulous. It drives a lot like SolidWorks.
The geosync sats have an interesting distribution. Most are directly over the equator, but some are tilted, and there are relatively few over the mid-Pacific.
The pulldown specials are fun, like the nav sats and the Westford Needles.
Get Firefox!

Neat !
Sure looks crowded when the dots representing the sats are a significant fraction of the earth's diameter.
