The space segment of the Aerosat aeronautical satellite system for aircraft communication and position determination above the Atlantic Ocean is described. This segment provides communication channels for exchange of information between ground users and aircraft. It consists of two geostationary satellites. Functionally, the ground installations controlling the satellites belong to this segment and consist of a control station situated in Europe and a small number of electronic test sets permitting checks of the overall system functions.
