COURSE OVERVIEW
Ground System Design and Operation Training provides a practical introduction to all aspects of ground system design and operation. Starting with basic communications principles, an understanding is developed of ground system architectures and system design issues. The function of major ground system elements is explained, leading to a discussion of day-to-day operations. The course concludes with a discussion of current trends in Ground System design and operations.
This Ground System Design and Operation Training course is intended for engineers, technical managers, and scientists who are interested in acquiring a working understanding of ground systems as an introduction to the field or to help broaden their overall understanding of space mission systems and mission operations. It is also ideal for technical professionals who need to use, manage, operate, or purchase a ground system.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completing this Ground System Design & Operation course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:
- The fundamentals of ground system design, architecture, and technology.
- Cost and performance tradeoffs in the spacecraft-to-ground communications link.
- Cost and performance tradeoffs in the design and implementation of a ground system.
- The capabilities and limitations of the various modulation types (FM, PSK, QPSK).
- The fundamentals of ranging and orbit determination for orbit maintenance.
- Basic day-to-day operations practices and procedures for typical ground systems.
- Current trends and recent experiences in cost and schedule-constrained operations.
CUSTOMIZE IT
- We can adapt this Ground System Design & Operation Training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
- If you are familiar with some aspects of this Ground System Design & Operation course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
- We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the Ground System Design & Operation course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
- If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the Ground System Design & Operation course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
