A Satellite Ground Station Control System

Yu Du

AbstractThe current ground station is rather complicated or unimplemented according the research of the ground station software. For small student satellites, a simple and flexible ground station control system is necessary to be developed to contact with satellites.

The purpose of the master project is to accomplish a control system which fulfills the automation of tracking satellites, provides the remote access to the ground station, and monitors the system running status.

In this thesis, We shall analyze two existing ground station softwares: Mercury system and JStation. Then we shall present the design and implementation of the control system which has accomplished our goal for the project.
