Summary:A method and related aspects are disclosed for scheduling vehicle-satellite communications for a vehicle (12) comprising a power controller (602) configured to provide power to a satellite modem (604) of the vehicle independently of at least a telematics gateway (608) of the vehicle. The method comprises responsive to the power controller of a vehicle receiving a low power mode request, determining a geographic location, for example, a three-dimensional geographic location, of the vehicle, determining a start time when a satellite will next be available for vehicle satellite-communications based on the determined geographic location of the vehicle, and configuring the power controller to schedule a modem power mode wake-up, for example, so that the modem is operational for vehicle-satellite communications, at the determined start-time.
