Described herein are techniques for implementing a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network and routing communications (e.g., packets) over that network. In embodiments, the techniques may comprise receiving, at a first ground station computing device, a request to determine destination information for a communication, determining, at the first ground station computing device based on information about the communication, a target computing device to which the communication is to be routed, determining, at the first ground station computing based on the target computing device, a location of a destination ground station, determining, at the first ground station computing by mapping orbital data to the location of the destination ground station, a destination satellite, generating the destination information to include at least an address for the destination satellite, and providing the destination information in response to the request.
