    WinProp can handle both geostationary and moving (e.g. LEO) satellites.
    For geostationary satellites the position is defined by distance and longitude, while for moving satellites the orbit data can be imported using TLE files or Almanac data.

    Please have a look on the corresponding satellite examples included in the installation package for rural/urban/indoor scenarios, e.g. under C:\Program Files\Altair\2022.3\help\winprop\examples\ExampleGuide_models:
