Disclosed is representing distant objects for analysis of satellite line-of-sight visibility from a grid of points by constructing a first 3D model of foreground objects that obscure line-of-sight visibility of satellites from a grid of points, wherein the first 3D model is at a first resolution, where spacing of grid points denotes obstruction edges, constructing a second 3D model of background objects that are more than a threshold distance away and that object obscure line-of-sight visibility of satellites from the grid of points, wherein the second 3D model is at a second resolution that is different from and coarser than the first resolution, calculating a line-of-sight visibility of the satellites from the grid of points using a combination of the first and second 3D models, and responding to a query for an area by providing the calculated line-of-sight visibility of the satellites for points of the grid within the area.
