| Summary: | Abstract This paper deals with the development of a generic mission control center for use with SSETI Express [1] and AAUSAT-II [2], which are student satellite projects by the European Space Agency and Aalborg University, respectively. The mission control center will be distributed through the Internet utilizing ground stations in Aalborg and Svalbard to establish communication with these satellites. The objective is to allow tele operation through a graphical user interface from a remote location. Stanford University offers an advanced system for distributing ground stations [3]. However, as this is still under development it is not relied upon in this project. The design utilizes the open source database management system MySQL for storing all communication with the satellites. The database design was complicated by the differences between the communication protocols for SSETI Express and AAUSAT- |
