Abstract: The Telemetry system is used to transmit data obtained from multiple sensors on the satellite, whose purpose is to monitor the satellite via a telemetry link to the earth station. These systems are one part on the satellite and other at the controlling earth station. The tracking system is situated on this earth station and provides information regarding the range, elevation and azimuth angles of the satellite. In accordance with the telemetry data received from the satellite and orbital data received from the tracking system, the control system is used for the correction of the position and altitude of the satellite.It is also used to control the direction of the antenna and configuration of the communication system to suit current traffic requirements, and to handle switches on the satellite.
