Connecting the Infrastructure of National Centre of Space Technologies to Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations

Abstract

The paper deal with an innovative method of connection and data transmission between a satellite and the ground stations. Authors suggest using a distributed network of ground stations, which simultaneously or separatly receive data from the satellite. The article presents new solutions, which allow improving the quality of receiving channel in comparison to an antenna array. Subsequently, a proposed realization of Distributed Ground Station System with description of transmission protocols, data transmission and storage, authorization system and devices and operators communication is shown. This network is a part of satellite project, developed by the students of Technical University of Moldova.
