The scale
How big should a watch on the solar system be, and where should it be thickest? Set the total, then decide what each kind of place earns: a single satellite, a picket that sees every side at once, or a swarm. Everything below recomputes as you move it: what gets built, what it costs, how much of a body you actually see, and how hard the network has to work.
Your fleet
Your allocation policy
Where the satellites go is a choice, not a law of physics. Each slider reads out the size it actually builds at your current total.
Satellites wrapped around the Sun, spread across eleven regimes.
Satellites at each of the seven priority worlds.
Satellites at each of the fifteen enhanced targets.
Satellites per ordinary station. Four covers every side at once: one over each pole, one over each flank.
Fuelled and waiting for interstellar visitors.
By default the physics sets the queue: next launch window plus cruise, soonest first. The other orders are a priority vote, there to be re-taken whenever new technologies, new partners or black swans change the maths, the money or the science.

Would it disturb the solar system? The numbers to weigh:
The modelled design also carries two standing commitments at every scale: a settled end-of-life plan before any satellite activates, and orbit-only, sterilised operations at the ocean moons under planetary-protection rules.
What would it give back? The numbers to weigh:
Many vantage points on the Sun are argued to stretch storm warnings from about an hour toward days. That claim rides on the coverage number above.
The scaling laws here are teaching-grade. The fleet, cadence, convoy and network pages read your fleet total; the allocation policy set on this page stays on this page.
