1. A system for antenna beam directivity, the system comprising:
a user device having antenna elements and at least one sensor;
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the user device; and
computer memory storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the user device to perform operations comprising:
determining an orientation of the user device using the at least one sensor, the orientation of the user device being relative to the antenna elements and a gravitational force; and
based on determining the orientation, establishing a connection with a non-terrestrial access node for a telecommunication service by using at least one of the antenna elements to transmit a connection request to the non-terrestrial access node.
