Abstract In order to monitor and control its satellites in orbit, the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE) has established a system of ground facilities. This system is called the Satellite Tracking and Control Center (CRC). CRC is composed of a Satellite Control Center (CCS), which is located on Sao Jose dos Campos, and two ground stations: one in Cuiaba and another in Alcantara. A Data Communication Network (RECDAS) and a voice communication network connect all three sites. The ground stations are S band stations. The station equipment is designed to ESA standards. The CCS uses DEC VAX machines: two VAX 8350 and one VAX 11/780. The data transfer between the CCS and the ground stations at the application level follows ESA's protocol. The RECDAS is a private X25 packet switching network with 9600 bps data transmission rate.
