TheOver the years, [[Indian Space Research OrganisationISRO]] (ISRO), over the years, has established a comprehensive global network of ground stations to provide Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TTC) support to [[satellite]] and [[launch vehicle]] missions. These facilities are grouped under '''ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network''' (ISTRAC){{citation needed lead|date=October 2014}} with its headquarters at [[Bangalore]], India.
 
==Facilities==
Line 7:
* ISTRAC facilities in Bangalore consist of TTC ground station (BLR) with full redundancy multi-mission Spacecraft Control Center to carry out and control spacecraft operations and co-ordinate with the network stations. Computer facility with distributed architecture providing independent processors for communications handling, dedicated processors to provide real-time displays for individual spacecraft missions and off-line processors for carrying out spacecraft data archival, analysis and orbit determination.
* Communication Control facility to establish links between [[Spacecraft Control Centre|SCC]] and ISTRAC network stations as well as control centers of other participating external space agencies and data receptions stations through dedicated voice, data and TTY links.
* Limited TTC facility to provide on-orbit operational support to INSAT satellites as backup to [[Master Control Facility]] at [[Hassan, Karnataka|Hassan]].
