Abstract

Provided herein are various enhancements for establishing dynamic mesh networking across a constellation of satellites and ground stations. An example method includes obtaining a request to generate a communication network for a time interval among a constellation of satellites. The method also includes identifying one or more connectivity graphs for the constellation based on a state of the constellation during at least the time interval and applying a selected routing algorithm against the one or more connectivity graphs to generate a communication route among the constellation during the time interval. The method further includes producing a set of parameters to configure routing of the communication route among the constellation to establish the communication network for the time interval.
