Abstract: A satellite tracking system and a method of controlling the same, in which the satellite tracking system comprises an ARGO-M Operation System (AOS) and a Tracking Mount System (TMS). The AOS comprises a time & frequency system configured to include a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, and to receive Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), and an Interface Control System (ICS) configured to calculate the orbital position data of a satellite using the UTC and per-satellite estimated orbit data by means of Lagrangian interpolation, and to send a command to track the position of the satellite. The TMS comprises a tracking mount configured to support a telescope that measures distance to the satellite, and to operate in accordance with the position of the satellite, and a servo controller configured to receive the orbital position data of the satellite, to receive the UTC, and to send a command to track the satellite.
