Command and Data Handling System

A Command and Data Handling System (CDHS) is a critical component in spacecraft and satellites, responsible for managing communication and operations. It processes commands sent from ground control, controls onboard systems, collects data from instruments, and sends this data back to Earth. Essentially, it ensures that the spacecraft performs its mission effectively by managing its various operations and ensuring that information flows smoothly between the vehicle and mission control. The CDHS plays a key role in maintaining the spacecraft's health, performance, and scientific output.
