    Abstract: An example network provisioning system is configured to obtain one or more network slice subnet templates (NSSTs), including a template for a satellite access network (SAN) and, optionally, a template for a terrestrial access network (TAN). The network provisioning system defines a network slice template (NST) based on the one or more NSSTs. The network provisioning system deploys a network slice in accordance with the NST to enable service management and orchestration of the network slice including the SAN. The network provisioning system is configured to execute a user interface configured to display a representation of the network slice comprising the SAN. The network provisioning system is configured to receive via the user interface an indication to add a base station provided by a satellite and modify the network slice based in part on the selection. In some examples, the network slice is a 5G communications network slice.
