A computing device including a processor configured to receive satellite status data from satellites included in a satellite constellation. The processor is further configured to determine a link topology of the satellites. Based at least in part on the satellite status data and the link topology, the processor is further configured to identify a first satellite constellation subset including one or more selected satellite pairs. Identifying the one or more selected satellite pairs includes computing respective link utility values associated with a plurality of candidate pairs of satellites included in the satellite constellation based at least in part on the satellite status data and the link topology. The one or more selected satellite pairs are selected based at least in part on the link utility values. The processor is further configured to transmit, to the satellites included in the first satellite constellation subset, instructions to perform intersatellite imaging data transfer.
