The disclosed system provides advanced mission control predictive systems for low earth orbit semi-autonomous satellites. In operation, the system may include a satellite transit behavior prediction module configured to train a neural network based on current and past satellite orbital transit paths so as to predict future transit paths. Knowing precise future satellite transit paths enables a ground-based satellite control system to more efficiently (and with greater accuracy) control certain operations of the satellites. For example, a ground-based satellite control system can prepare for communications to commence at a particular time. Legacy systems can only predict one or two days in advance However, using a neural network that not only takes into consideration historical transit data, but also learned details such as solar wind, cloud patterns, etc., the neural network predicts future satellite transit paths with statistically-certain accuracy leading to a much narrower cone of uncertainty.
