This chapter presents an introduction to ground segment in nanosatellite systems and explores some of the future prospects in the ground segment engineering. It explains hardware and software elements of a ground segment with a complete view of its design for nanosatellite missions. The chapter discusses new trends in the ground segment for nanosatellites, such as software‐defined radio solutions. The ground segment provides the communication link with the satellite or satellites to perform operations, receive housekeeping telemetry and scientific data, and send telecom‐mands to execute platform and payload operations on board. The main elements of a ground station include the radio frequency equipment, the structural elements, and the ground segment software. The ground segment software manages all the hardware elements and provides tools to the operators to execute their work. Information on orbit propagation software, tracking software, communications software, mission planning tools, mission operations console, telemetry analysis tools is provided.
