A satellite constellation is easy to mistake for a simple multiplication problem. If one satellite can see part of Earth, many satellites can see more of it. If one spacecraft can carry a radio, a camera, or a timing signal, a fleet can make the service feel continuous. That intuition is useful, but it is incomplete. A constellation is not only a group of satellites. It is a moving architecture.
