Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for adaptively coordinating among satellite communication channels. A method, according to an example implementation of the disclosed technology, can include: receiving, at a radio frequency receiver disposed on a target satellite, a plurality of signals associated with a corresponding plurality of candidate satellite communication channels; detecting, among the plurality of signals, a command structure; selecting, for communications with a first ground station, a first channel of the candidate satellite communication channels, based at least in part, on information in the detected command structure; establishing a communication link with the first ground station using the first channel; receiving, via the first channel, and from the first ground station, one or more downlink instructions; selecting a downlink communication channel based on the received one or more downlink instructions; and transmitting information to the first ground station via the selected downlink communication channel.
