A Satellite Ground Station is a critical terrestrial facility designed for communication with satellites in orbit. Also known as earth stations, these stations play a vital role in receiving, transmitting, and controlling satellite signals. Ground stations serve as communication hubs, facilitating the exchange of data between satellites and Earth-based networks.
