Is there a constellation pattern SpaceX could use that would leave open a clear sky above Chile? (Maybe at the expense of not offering service in the country).


Any orbit has to cross the equator, so anything that avoids Chile is also going to have to avoid quite a lot of other stuff. Only a geosynchronous orbit would make any sense there and then it'd be too high to have low latency.
