A Low-Cost, Autonomous, Ground Station Operations Concept and Network Design for EUVE and Other Earth-Orbiting Satellites

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite was designed to operate with the
Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) and Deep Space Network (DSN).
NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Center for EUV Astrophysics have been
evaluating a commercially available ground station already used for NASA's Low
Earth Orbit (LEO) weather satellites. This ground station will be used in a network of
unattended, autonomous ground stations for telemetry reception, processing, and
routing of data over a commercial, secure data line. Plans call for EUVE to be the
initial network user. This network will be designed to support many TDRSS/DSN
compatible missions. It will open an era of commercial, low-cost, autonomous ground
station networks. The network will be capable of supporting current and future NASA
scientific missions, and NASA's LEO and geostationary weather satellites.
Additionally, it could support future, commercial communication satellites in low, and
possibly medium, Earth orbit. The combination of an autonomous ground station and
an autonomous telemetry monitoring system will allow reduction in personnel. The
EUVE Science Operations Center has already reduced console work from three shifts
to one by use of autonomous telemetry monitoring software.
