RELIABLE OPERATION IN COMS GROUND CENTERS

The COMS ground segment will operate the geostationary satellite continuously 24h/7days and deliver processed data to end-users with respect to the predefined schedule without delay. For reliable operation, each COMS ground center has internally dual-configuration for critical systems but impossible to every components. Any unexpected failure or regular maintenance to the single configured antenna system may lead the interruption of COMS service and operation. The natural disaster or external attack can destroy one ground center and the operation will be stopped. Therefore COMS program implements backup system remotely located in other centers. Even considering foreign geostationary systems, it's the best solution guaranteeing consistent system operation against internal failure or external disaster.
