1. A method of dispatching ground-based nodes of a network, the method comprises:
receiving, by one or more processors, information from each of a plurality of available nodes within the network, wherein the plurality of available nodes includes at least one high-altitude platform;
determining, by the one or more processors, a plurality of constraints for a future point in time, each one of the plurality of constraints including one or more minimum service requirement for a geographic area;
determining, by the one or more processors, a network configuration for the plurality of available nodes and at least one additional ground-based node, wherein the network configuration satisfies the plurality of constraints for the future point in time when the at least one additional ground-based node is used; and
sending, by the one or more processors, instructions in order to affect the network configuration at the future point in time, the instructions being configured to cause the at least one additional ground-based nodes to be dispatched, wherein the instructions include sending a signal identifying the network configuration to a fleet management system.
