The integration of terrestrial networks with Non-Terrestrial Networks requires a comprehensive management framework to address the mutual impact between satellite operations and network services. Past research by the authors introduced the Constellation Management System (CMS) as a solution, facilitating optimized plans for both satellite and network operators. This paper extends prior work by focusing on enhancing the adaptability of the CMS through dynamic execution methodologies, particularly by integrating telemetry feedback. The study presents a dynamic execution framework and a sequence diagram outlining the rescheduling process. Validation through telemetry emulation demonstrates the system’s agility in responding to telemetry variations and the value of this new architecture using the CMS dynamically. Initial findings indicate a throughput enhancement of 10% with the implementation of a closed-loop approach compared to an open-loop approach. This research advances satellite constellation operations management towards automated communications, enhancing adaptability and robustness in unpredictable and constantly changing environments.
