A ground station is a physical facility with a computer that acts as the hub for the communication between a spacecraft and terrestrial networks. The satellite and the ground station use software to communicate, control the antennas, schedule passes and interface with other equipment. Space Ground Station Equipment is a vital piece of technology that allows satellites to transmit and receive data from Earth. Space ground station equipment is available in a variety of designs and types. Some of these include UHF/VHF antennas, telemetry receivers, transceivers, and terminal units. Some of these are portable and can be easily transported from place to place.
Market Dynamics:
The rise in use of commercial space capabilities, and increasing small and medium-sized satellites is expected to augment growth of the global space ground station equipment market during the forecast period. The rise in satellite production and data storage is also likely to create demand for advanced ground systems that can communicate with multiple satellites at the same time.
However, factors such as unfavorable government regulations, and high cost of deployment is expected to hamper growth of the global space ground station equipment market during the forecast period.
