All satellites have one common requirement, known as the command facility. This is usually a real-time direct RF link from a ground transmitter through the satellite receiver and decoder to a relay or controlled circuit. The more sophisticated research and operational satellites require a command facility which will permit storing of commands to activate systems at predetermined future times when the satellite is beyond the range of the command ground station. These satellites require an accurate clock and a source of precision frequencies. In the Nimbus spacecraft, all these functions are performed by an integrated command and clock subsystem, which includes the command clock and clock-receiver modules in the spacecraft, plus the associated command ground station. This paper will describe the functions and features of these various equipment's.
