Recent advances in satellite technology have introduced a new frontier of wireless networking by establishing Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite networks that work to connect difficult to reach areas and improve global connectivity. These novel advancements lack robust open-source simulation models that can highlight potential bottlenecks or potential wasted resources, wasting terrestrial users and the companies that provide these networks time and money. To that end, we propose SLASh, a highly-customizable satellite network simulation which allows users to design a simulated network with specific characteristics, and constructs them analog to real-world conditions. Additionally, SLASh can generate abstract telemetry that can be simulated moving throughout the network, allowing users to compare network capabilities across a variety of frameworks.
