Abstract: A method for storing and retrieving telemetry which can reduce the size of a data storage tape and the time for retrieving data by overcoming the problems in a conventional satellite control system wherein all telemetry received from a satellite are stored without being subject to a filtering operation in a hard disk or memory of a computer for a predetermined time, and when needs arise for replaying previously stored data, a tape which stores required data is first located and mounted on a driver in order to load the required data. In accordance with the method of the present invention, data is filtered with respect to a variation of each telemetry. The data is stored step by step according to the period for which data should be stored. The data which should be stored for a long term is compressed and stored as an average value, maximum value, minimum value and variance of daily data. The generation and storage of long term data are offline processed.

Abstract: A method of automatically controlling and verifying telecommands in a satellite control system in which a satellite status analyzing/processing unit and a telecommand producing/executing unit are closely connected with each other to share a knowledge base with information regarding the telecommands. The present method comprises the steps of transmitting the telecommands to a satellite for the control thereof, receiving the resultant telemetry from the satellite, analyzing the received telemetry, inferring telemetry values corresponding to the transmitted telecommands from the information in the knowledge base, verifying a telecommand execution status of the satellite on the basis of the analyzed result and inferred telemetry values and producing a control command upon recognizing an abnormal status of the satellite in accordance with the verified result. According to the present invention, an operator needs not check data one by one to determine whether the telecommand execution is normal or not.
