System and method of providing multiple antennas to track satellite movement

A system comprising:

• a first antenna having a first orientation;
• a second antenna having a second orientation;
• a control system communicating with the first antenna and the second antenna, wherein the control system performs operations comprising:
• determining a pathway of a satellite;
• comparing the pathway to a first radiation pattern of the first antenna and a second radiation pattern of the second antenna, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are each positioned such that a first keyhole of the first antenna does not overlap a second keyhole of the second antenna, to yield a comparison;
• and
• selecting, based on the comparison, one of the first antenna or the second antenna to communicate with the satellite along the pathway.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage device storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• transmitting path data associated with a path of the system to a gateway, where a control system associated with the gateway evaluates the path data and assigns, based on avoiding a keyhole, an antenna from a plurality of antennas associated with the gateway to communicate with an assigned antenna;
• receiving an instruction to communicate with the assigned antenna;
• and
• communicating with the assigned antenna across a coverage zone of the gateway.
