Intro2 – Ground stations
Introduction
Satellite ground stations are essential facilities on Earth that communicate with orbiting satellites. They transmit and receive signals, data, and commands to and from satellites, ensuring the effective operation of satellite systems. Ground stations play a vital role in satellite-based services such as telecommunications, weather forecasting, satellite navigation (GPS), and Earth observation. Equipped with large antennas, radio transmitters, and receivers, these stations form the backbone of satellite communication networks.
