Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for tracking aircraft using a satellite network. An example method includes receiving ADS-B messages from multiple aircraft; determining that at least one of the ADS-B messages satisfies at least one condition; and in response to determining that at least one of the ADS-B messages satisfies the at least one condition, transmitting an alert. In some cases, a system transmits an instruction to perform the example method to at least one satellite and receives the alert.
