🔍 Key Concepts

• Inmarsat ocean regions and what each abbreviation stands for (AOR-W, IOR, POR) • The geographic location of the eastern U.S. relative to the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans • How "West" or "East" in a satellite region name might relate to the Atlantic Ocean and the American continents

💭 Think About

• First place the eastern coast of the United States on a world map. Which ocean is it actually bordering? • Match each satellite region (AOR-W, IOR, POR) to the primary ocean it serves. Which one lines up with the ocean off the U.S. East Coast? • Ask yourself: would a satellite over the Indian Ocean or Pacific Ocean have the best coverage for a ship close to the U.S. East Coast?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that IOR is associated with the Indian Ocean and POR with the Pacific Ocean • Confirm that AOR-W refers to the western part of the Atlantic Ocean region, which is closer to North and South America • Verify that the chosen option provides best coverage for vessels off the eastern shore of the United States, not just coverage somewhere on the globe
