The Fucino control center for the Sirio satellite
Abstract
The operations control center for the Sirio communications satellite, intended to assume all command, telemetry and communications functions after the arrival of the satellite at its station point, is described. Decodification of the telemetry transmission and codification of the command signals are discussed. In addition, the acquisition and analysis of orbital data are considered; station-keeping maneuvers are also mentioned. Simulations of the satellite operations are reported.
