TELEMETRY-, TELECOMMAND- AND MONITORING SYSTEMS OF EUROPEAN SATELLITE CONTROL STATIONS

Abstract

Since years Dornier System have been active, for the European Space Agency (ESA), in the field of development and manufacturing of baseband equipment for Satellite Control Stations. Respective Telemetry- Telecommand- and Station Monitoring Systems have been designed on the basis of microprocessor controlled units which are interconnected by standard interfaces in order to facilitate station integration procedures. The equipment will be integrated in all European Satellite Control Stations of the existing and coming generation. The paper describes the different subsystems its interfaces and software structure.
