Telespazio's systems for Italsat ground support and TTCM/IOT and TRMS services
Abstract
Telespazio's principal activities in the field of the in-orbit support to geostationary spacecrafts is described. The Italian telecommunications satellite Italsat F-1 is supported by the Fucino Control Centre and two 'beacon stations' at Cagliari & Courmajeur. Remote TTCM/IOT and TRMS services are rendered to Intelsat, Inmarsat, Comsat and Eutelsat. A number of antenna systems and a large operational organization, started in 1968, are dedicated to these activities.
