Abstract: The present teachings is generally directed to facilitating satellite and terrestrial internet communications. In some embodiments, configuration information for configuring a communications device may be retrieved. The configuration information may be provided to the communications device, and the communications device may be caused to be configured based on the configuration information. Responsive to receiving a first data signal from a first satellite, the communications device may be configured to generate and output a second data signal based on the first data signal, the first data signal including first data encoded using one or more space-based communication protocols, and the second data including second data encoded using one or more terrestrial-based communication protocols.

Abstract: The present teachings is generally directed to systems and methods for facilitating communications with a satellite. In some embodiments, a request to communicate with a satellite may be received from a client device, and upon determining that a device identifier associated with the client device is associated with an account authorized to connect to one or more satellite ground stations, a schedule of activity for the account may be retrieved. The schedule of activity may indicate a time period that the client device is authorized to connect to the satellite ground station(s) such that data is communicated between the satellite and the client device, and the satellite ground station(s) may be configured to communicate with the satellite. At a start of the time period, a connection between the client device and the satellite ground station(s) may be generated, and via the connection, data may be provided to the client device.
