THE CHALLENGES OF LOW-COST, AUTOMATED SATELLITE OPERATIONS

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / Satellite operations have been inherently manpower intensive since they began over
thirty years ago. Since manpower intensive equates to costs, this mode of operations
cannot survive in light of government budget cuts and commercial profitability. Two
factors are now key for both government and commercial satellite control centers: 1)
systems must be highly automated to minimize the operations staff, and 2) these
automated systems must be deployed and enhanced at a low cost. This paper
describes the three principle challenges which arise in migrating from high-cost,
manpower intensive satellite operations to low-cost, automated satellite operations
and makes recommendations for solving them.
