Satellite Ground Segment Design

1 the ground segment enables management of a spacecraft and distribution of payload data and telemetry among interested parties on the ground.

Satellite ground segment design. This updated and expanded second edition reflects the state of earth station design and ground segment architecture. 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. An operational satellite ground segment is a highly complex heterogeneous sys tem which has to cope with different levels of criticality novelty specificity and to be operated for many years. 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.

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. This involves space and ground segment design program management satellite link and propagation engineering staff selection and training cost reduction and performance optimization selection of the best space and ground.
