Original Abstract Submitted
systems, apparatus, and methods for calibration of satellite communication antennas are disclosed. an example aerial vehicle includes an antenna; an attitude sensor; machine-readable instructions; and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to at least identify a first angular position of the antenna associated with a peak power of a signal received by the antenna when the aerial vehicle is at a first heading; identify a second angular position of the antenna associated with a peak power of a signal received by the antenna when the aerial vehicle is at a second heading, the second heading different than the first heading; determine an offset between the attitude sensor and the antenna based on the first angular position and the second angular position; and cause a pointing angle of the antenna relative to an external source to be adjusted based on the offset.
