Abstract
A system comprises a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor such that the computer is programmed to change a satellite antenna direction from a first sky segment to a second sky segment, to change the satellite antenna direction to return to the first sky segment upon updating segment blockage status data including a location and a score of the second sky segment, and to change the satellite antenna direction to a third sky segment based at least in part on the segment blockage status data.
