An information and analytical accounting system for active geostationary communications satellites has been developed using MS Access coverage area visualization technology. The relevance of the work is due to the growing number of geostationary communications satellites and a variety of communication types, the inefficiency of existing tools for processing large amounts of data, such as MS Excel, as well as the lack of open Russian accounting systems on the global market. The system includes a normalized database, visualization of coverage areas, analytical tools, and optimized search. The functions of adding new satellites, statistical analysis and specification of technical characteristics have been implemented. The results demonstrate the possibility of creating an adaptive and scalable solution for the telecommunications industry in Russia and the rest of the world.
