A device includes an antenna controller configured to direct a beam to track a first satellite that follows an orbit having a transit arranged to intersect a transit of one or more other satellites to form a closed loop. The antenna controller is also configured to switch a tracking target of the beam from the first satellite to a second satellite of the one or more other satellites when the first satellite and the second satellite are at a first intersection of the transits that form the closed loop.
