A ground station is a facility equipped with antennas and communication equipment to communicate with satellites in orbit. These stations play a crucial role in satellite operations, enabling data transmission, telemetry, and control. They are essential for various applications, including weather monitoring, telecommunications, and scientific research. Ground stations can vary in size and complexity, from small antennas used for amateur radio to large installations that support commercial satellite networks. They ensure that data collected by satellites is received on Earth, processed, and utilized for various purposes, such as navigation, broadcasting, and environmental monitoring.
