Spacecraft Telemetry

Spacecraft telemetry refers to the process of collecting and transmitting data from a spacecraft back to Earth. This data includes vital information about the spacecraft's systems, health, and scientific observations. Telemetry enables mission control teams to monitor the spacecraft's performance, diagnose issues, and make informed decisions regarding its operations. The information is sent via radio waves and can include temperature readings, position, speed, and power levels. By analyzing telemetry data, engineers can ensure the spacecraft is functioning properly and can make adjustments as needed to achieve mission objectives.
