Question

Telemetry, command, and control (TC&C) subsystem allow a ground station to monitor and control conditions in the satellite.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in an interview for internship.

I need to ask this question from Satellite Subsystems in division Satellite Communication of Avionics

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

To explain I would say: The telemetry system is used to report the status of the onboard subsystems to the ground station. The telemetry system typically consists of various electronic sensors whose data are selected by a multiplexer and then converted to a digital signal, which then modulates an internal transmitter. This transmitter sends the telemetry information back to the earth station, where it is recorded and monitored.
