Hello all,

I am running what I believe to be the only probe on a Starlink satellite
connection right now:

https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/1001821/

Is anyone aware of a list of probe ID numbers which are definitively known
to be on some form of satellite-based access technology? I am thinking of,
for instance, sites on consumer grade geostationary VSATs, more serious
VSATs, or in island nations which are not known to have any submarine
cables.

The reason why I am searching for such a list is that I intend to consume
some of my accumulated credits to run periodic one-off measurements of
latency, traceroutes and other things to quantify improvements in satellite
based latency and other performance metrics over time. And to quantify what
it looks like when an ISP previously dependent on geostationary (min 495ms
latency) gains access to either terrestrial/submarine fiber, or a lower
latency low earth orbit based service.

The best information I can find right now is to manually pick probes which
never show below geostationary latency to a first hop in any traceroute,
and are located on the probes map in certain island locations. It's a bit
more time consuming to manually search for probes in continental locations
which are on a VSAT (for instance if anyone knows of a probe on a VSAT
terminal in a remote part of Wyoming, USA, let me know...).
