A method comprising determining, by a function, that a first satellite lacks processing or communication capabilities; and routing data traffic, by the function, from the first satellite to a second satellite, the second satellite having higher processing or communication capabilities than the first satellite. The processing and communication capabilities of the first and second satellite are directly related to their power availability, which is derived from solar energy means. Another method comprising determining, by a function, that a first satellite cannot provide computing or communication resources; migrating data, by the function, from the first satellite to a second satellite that can provide the computing or communication resources; computing the data, by the computing resources of the second satellite; and transmitting computed data, by the function, from the second satellite to the first satellite.
