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
