Each TTCS receives commands, SAR control tables and other data from the MCF [Metadata Configuration file] and transmits them to the satellite; it receives telemetry data from the spacecraft and transmits them to the MCF; it also carries out tracking measurements on the satellite and transmits the results to the MCF. Additional TT&C stations(the external TT&C network) will be used for support during the Launch and Early Orbit Period(LEOP) and potentially during other parts of the mission. 2, record 1, English, - telemetry%2C%20tracking%20and%20command%20station

The launcher's capabilities plus the fact that SPOT 4 must be placed in precisely the required orbit result in a launch window of just 9 minutes per day. During this time, launcher, satellite and a global array of ground facilities(radars, data transmission networks, optical tracking and range safety equipment, TT&C stations, computers and other facilities in Toulouse), must all be ready to do their respective jobs. When all is in order... and provided the weather in Kourou is clement, the indicators in the main control room remain green and the countdown proceeds normally. 2, record 4, English, - range%20safety%20equipment
