ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / In a modern ground control network for space communications, secure peer-to-peer TCP/IP
network socket connections are typically used to transfer real-time telemetry and command
frames between satellite operations centers and remote ground stations. Reliable and timely
reconfiguration of data paths for upcoming pass supports becomes rather complex when many
spacecraft and ground stations are involved. This paper describes a routing software application
that was developed to facilitate switching of telemetry and command data paths between
multiple ground stations and spacecraft command and control systems, and to forward telemetry
streams to multiple client applications in parallel. Fully automated configuration and monitoring
of the data flows is accomplished via a remote control interface that is tied into a pass scheduling
system. The software is part of the SatTrack Suite and currently supports multi-mission flight
operations, including those of the recently launched THEMIS constellation mission at Space
Sciences Laboratory, University of California at Berkeley.
