Satellite Control

Satellite control involves managing and maintaining a satellite's proper functioning and positioning in orbit. Ground stations use specialized equipment to communicate with the satellite, sending commands to adjust its trajectory, orientation, or systems. This process ensures the satellite stays on its designated course, operates its instruments correctly, and avoids collisions. Satellite control also includes monitoring performance, diagnosing issues, and implementing software updates remotely. Overall, it’s essential for ensuring that satellites perform their intended tasks reliably, whether for communication, navigation, earth observation, or scientific research.
