Abstract
The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) is scheduled to support five different small satellite missions within the next three-year frame (2017 to 2020). Because many missions will share the same ground station system, a flexible and reliable ground station system has been developed at Georgia Tech campus and Georgia Tech Research Institute facility since Fall 2015. In addition to the missions expected to fly, more mission concepts are being developed which could be funded and become actual flight missions. Proper trade study and budgeting is necessary to select a proper communication hardware and establish a link that is functional and efficient. This paper is written to provide a user guide for current and potential communication subsystem engineers for small satellite mission teams at Georgia Tech, who will utilize the ground station system, select flight hardware according to requirements, and test communication links.
