Abstract: In this paper, a general framework for optimum
configuration of command and control satellite station will be offered
according to orbital parameters of satellite. Main goal for each of command and
control earth stations is to increase time period of viewing satellite and also
variety of number of passes while viewing hypothetical satellites. Orbit of
each satellite can be determined by main indexes known as Kepler
parameters including inclination, apogee and perigee. First passes of each
satellite is another main subject while determining location of stations and
its index is having exact location and/or TLE of satellite in the separation
point of satellite from launcher. Therefore, geographical specifications of
location of satellite separation are considered for locating earth station.
Keywords: Satellite ground station, optimization, STK software, orbital parameters of satellite.
