E06 Proposal of an Automatic Operation System for Nano Satellites Using Multiple Ground Stations

Abstract

In this paper, a method for automatic operation of satellites using multiple ground stations is proposed. In the former part of this paper, a new ground station system which optimizes the use of multiple ground stations, and central software called "Scheduler" and "Sequencer" which is substitute of operator is proposed. The "Scheduler" schedules operation tasks and control the whole operation sequence automatically. The "Sequencer" executes operation tasks such as sending of antenna angle and radio frequency to remote ground station.
