1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving control signaling identifying a configuration of a set of uplink slots for the UE to transmit uplink reference signals to a satellite;
receiving, from a network node, a timing advance value for the set of uplink slots;
transmitting, to the satellite, a set of uplink reference signals on the set of uplink slots according to the configuration and according to the timing advance value; and
receiving, from the network node, an indication of a position of the UE based at least in part on the set of uplink reference signals.
