description Space communications are a fundamental part of every NASA mission, and reliable space communications are essential. Precise planning, simulation, and analysis of communications abilities are needed to know exactly what data rates, visibility times, and signal strength can be expected during the real missions. The goal of this work was to take a 3D icosphere, where each face was a point to be evaluated, and display the link performance onto a 2D projection of celestial bodies for links to a node location that could be spatially located at any of the icosahedral faces. 2D projections were produced for a wide range of spatial link grid sizes and compressed into low-size MAT files for ease of access and rapid implementation. The final icosahedral projections can be displayed onto various celestial body maps, using ultra-high-resolution maps for stitching. The results have proven satisfactory and are planned to support various simulation efforts.
