A novel statistical method has been devised for evaluating the ground and the sky coverage of an observation experiment on-board a satellite. Owing to its unrivalled rapidity compared with other conventional calculation techniques, the method can be applied to evaluate the coverage percentages for the whole globe or any area on it, to calculate the visibility percentages for one or more ground stations and to determine the percentages of observation time of any given celestial direction including sun, moon, earth and Ground Stations constraints. The orbits considered can be elliptical and account is taken of the drift due to the earth's oblateness.
