GIS in R
Terra is very fast and worth looking into

Most reliable mapping package atm?
terra is the new package for raster data, but the older raster package still works just fine.

starlinkstatus.com now tracks active starlink cells
I don't think Starlink uses H3. H3 uses cells of specific sizes while Starlink needs cells that match its beam size. There are many ways to cover a sphere with hexagons. There is a library dggridR that allows you to construct a custom grid with spacing and other parameters. It's on my to do list to play with it.
