Command and Control
Ground control issues commands to the spacecraft for various operations, including trajectory changes, system checks, and payloads operations.
Data Management and Storage
Ground control handles the vast amount of data collected, ensuring it is properly stored, cataloged, and available for analysis and research.
Communication with Spacecraft
Ground control maintains communication with spacecraft, ensuring the flow of commands and data between Earth and the spacecraft.
Telemetry Data Analysis
Ground control analyzes telemetry data to monitor spacecraft health, performance, and to make informed operational decisions.
Mission Planning
Ground control is essential for mission planning which includes trajectory calculations, timeline scheduling, and resource management.
Definition of Ground Control
Ground control refers to the personnel and systems on Earth responsible for monitoring and managing space missions.
Crisis Management
In case of emergencies, ground control is responsible for quick decision-making, problem-solving, and devising rescue or abort procedures.
End-of-Mission Operations
Ground control plans and executes end-of-mission operations, which may involve deorbiting, landing, or placing the spacecraft in a graveyard orbit.
