11. A method for configuring satellite networking operations, performed by processing circuitry of a computing device, the method comprising:
obtaining, from a low-carth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, network routing data and telemetry data associated with network communication paths in the LEO satellite constellation, the LEO satellite constellation comprising a plurality of satellite vehicles in orbit that communicate via a plurality of inter-satellite links;
identifying a condition in the telemetry data to change control of the network communication paths of the LEO satellite constellation, the condition relating to usage of the network communication paths as indicated in the network routing data; and
communicating at least one command to a non-terrestrial network operations center (NOC) that causes the non-terrestrial NOC to control the network communication paths of the LEO satellite constellation, the non-terrestrial NOC located at another satellite vehicle in orbit that is located outside the LEO satellite constellation.
