A system and method for detecting and addressing silent failures in a satellite communication system includes a satellite, one or more test terminals deployed within coverage beams of the satellite, and a central station configured to communicate with the test terminals. The test terminals are configured to establish a communication link over the satellite communication system, perform a plurality of tests, and transmit the test results to the central station. The central station: determines if system performance is below specified levels, and initiates at least one solution to improve system performance.

Measuring and monitoring beam performance in mobile satellite system

An approach for monitoring operations in a satellite communication system includes selecting different types of beams that can be used to represent a satellite coverage area, and retrieving metrics from at least one subsystem in a satellite communication system. A map of the satellite coverage area is overlaid with a plurality of coverage beams in accordance with their respective coverage portions of the satellite coverage area. A color scheme can then be applied to provide status information for each coverage beam corresponding to retrieved metrics.
