Dual Operation of TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X with One Ground Antenna
Daniils Dikanskis · SpaceOps 2012 Conference · 2012
Usually, in order to control a satellite, a ground antenna is required. In this paper we study the aspects of simultaneous operation of several satellites at the same time with one ground antenna, thus increasing the efficiency. The upgrade, required for such capacity of the ground station antenna system, depends on the mission specifications and the chosen concept for communicating with the satellites.
