Satellite ground segment architecture.

However the evolutions in satellite ground segment network architectures satellite hubs satellite terminals and networking equipment within the satellite networks can hardly be identified since they are rarely publicly documented and implementations may not follow existing standards. Be able to list the functions performed by a space systems ground support system. The space segment using geo satellites provides redundant data transmission channel to broadcast toward egnos user messages containing differential corrections with the associated integrity information. Know factors in ground station design 3.

A ground segment consists of all the ground based elements of a spacecraft system used by operators and support personnel as opposed to the space segment and user segment. The core ground segment monitors and controls the sentinel spacecraft ensures the measurement data acquisition processing archiving and dissemination to the final users. Mda is committed to continuously investing in new software and systems technologies enabling our innovative ground segment architecture to integrate best of breed cots together with mda s advanced subsystems. The ground segment consists of gateways where data is downlinked from satellites the moniker of ground segment notwithstanding sometimes these gateways can be located in space as well as processing and distribution facilities to put the raw data in the appropriate form and location for users.

The flight operation segment fos which is responsible for the command and control of the satellite. Ground segment the ground segment is composed of the core ground segment the collaborative ground segment and the copernicus contributing missions ground segments. The payload data segment pds which is responsible for the exploitation of the instrument data. Our robust high throughput solutions enable satellite operators to fully realize the potential of their satellite program.

This design is focused in supporting the operations of an undefined generic earth observation satellite with a minimal set of functionalities on a minimal deployment of capabilities. 1 the ground segment enables management of a spacecraft and distribution of payload data and telemetry among interested parties on the ground. The ground segment can be split into two major elements. This could include the ground segment for the.
