- Abstract
Geosynchronous space missions of ISRO with wide spectrum of payloads provide vital infrastructure for National development and economic programs. Space technology had grown at a phenomenal rate and complex systems are already operational. Successful mission operations depend very much on many ground systems and knowledge base of the informed operators. An effective balance is arrived using on-board spacecraft autonomy and automatic operations from ground to protect the services even when the Solar activity is reportedly higher during recent times. The rich experience of Geo-mission operations has helped in formulating suitable algorithms and successfully implementing them to ensure service protection. The other benefit is operational economy since skilled work force is able to concentrate on health analysis and planning rather than routine operations. In this paper, certain case studies are discussed illustrating different levels of automation in ground operations that are already successful in operations.
