Abstract
"Satellites in low orbits are visible from the ground station a few minutes per day. Picosatellites in particular, (satellites which are lighter than 1kg) also have limitations as to the amount of power available to sent data to ground stations, and hence need to optimize their concept of operations to also optimize communication times with the ground stations. Under these specific circumstances, they need to maximize visibility between the picosatellite and the ground station arises in order to maximize data download. The aim of this study is to analyze and quantify how the geographic precision of the entry and exit position of the picosatellite along the horizon visible from the antennae affects the performance of data capture. In addition to representing the problem, this study will show practical results that have been obtained from a ground station located at the ETSIT-UPM."
