Ground rights under a constellation

Your land is under
six orbital planes.

Satellite operators need somewhere for the beam to land. Where it can land is decided by orbital geometry, not by soil — which means arid rangeland nobody wants for grazing can be worth more than a paddock that is.

How the beam works
No account needed to see what flies over you.
The problem

There has never been a price signal for this.

A pastoral lessee earning $4 an acre a year has no way to learn that their rangeland sits under six orbital planes. No listing venue, no comparable sales, no vocabulary for the asset. Not because the land is worthless, but because nobody has ever been in a position to bid.

BeamGround is the venue. Operators post what they need: delivered megawatts, contact minutes, a latitude band, a date. You list what you have. The match is computed from the same orbital mechanics the operator’s own console runs.

Say the hard part first

On axis, at full power, the beam is 7.2× the public exposure limit.

That is the number, and it is why there is a fence. The rectenna sits inside a fenced exclusion zone sized against ICNIRP 2020 and IEEE C95.1-2019 — not against our own judgement. Nothing walks under a live beam.

Outside the fence, power density falls off fast enough that the annulus is ordinary land. Stock graze it. At the boundary the figure is below the limit for continuous public exposure — comparable to standing in direct sunlight, which is the reassuring half and is labelled as such.

How each of those is applied →

Three steps, and you keep the land.

01
Draw your boundary
On a map, with your corners. Acreage and distances are computed on the WGS-84 ellipsoid, so they are true at 78°N and 53°S alike.
02
See what flies over
Real element sets, real geometry. Which planes cross you, for how long, and what that is worth to an operator who needs that latitude.
03
Take an approach, or don’t
Operators approach you. An option fee would hold the ground while surveys run; any lease would follow one standard instrument that works in your jurisdiction.

An address or a pair of coordinates is enough. Listing is free, and nothing is binding until you sign an option.
