2c The Telemetry, Tracking, Command and Monitoring (TTC&M)
system is essential to a successful operation of a communication

satellite. Draw a complete block diagram of the satellite subsystem
and write the function of the TTC&M block.

Function of the TTC&M block:

The telemetry, tracking, command, and monitoring (TTC&M)
subsystem provides essential spacecraft management and control
functions to keep the satellite operating safely in orbit. The

TTC&M links between the spacecraft and the ground are usually
separate from the communications system links.
