GENERATING SATELLITE ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR FULFILLING CONNECTION REQUESTS DURING A MASS GATHERING EVENT

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes obtaining satellite information associated with a plurality of satellites, and using the satellite information to determine physical parameters associated with the satellites as the satellites pass over geographical areas. The method further includes determining, from data associated with a plurality of internet based resources, a future gathering event at a first geographical area in which a plurality of connection requests will be output from user devices located at a first geographical area. Furthermore, the method includes generating, based on the physical parameters and the data, assignment instructions that specify which of the satellites is to accept the plurality of connection requests from the first geographical area during the gathering event. The assignment instructions are output for preventing the connection requests from going unfulfilled during the gathering event.
