Summary:A satellite orbiting the Earth may perform orbit-aware routing by receiving a data packet, determining whether a final destination plane of the data packet is different from an orbital plane of the satellite, in response to determining that the final destination plane of the data packet is different from the orbital plane of the satellite, determining whether the satellite is able to communicate with one or more cross-plane neighboring satellites, selecting a neighboring satellite to receive the data packet based at least in part on whether the satellite is able to communicate with one or more cross-plane neighboring satellites, and forwarding the data packet to the neighboring satellite.
