Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that support upstream timing control mechanisms for non-terrestrial networks are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for wireless communications from a user equipment (UE) in wireless communication with a satellite. A gateway in the non-terrestrial networks may receive an upstream transmission from the UE in wireless communication with the satellite and determine a timing adjustment for a second upstream transmission from the UE based on the upstream transmission from the UE. The gateway may then transmit to the UE in a group control information message or a dedicated physical channel message, a timing command indicating the timing adjustment for the second upstream transmission. The UE may receive the second timing adjustment and transmit data over the second upstream transmission using the second timing adjustment.
