The recent proliferation of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) utilizing low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) has garnered significant attention. Establishing an all-optical network in LEO constellations has been explored, leveraging HAPS used as high-altitude ground stations (HAGS) in conjunction with traditional ground stations (GS). This approach is appealing for Earth observation missions spanning a fully connected network between LEO satellites and a delay-tolerant stochastic partition between HAGS and GS. To address the emerging routing challenges arising from weather-related impairments, we first develop new routing solutions that mitigate these issues. Secondly, we compare the performance of our new routing solutions to the classic contact graph routing (CGR), demonstrating improved performance for NTN networks. Finally, we conclude by outlining future research directions.
