In Chinese ground TTC (Telemetry, Tracking, and Control) systems for communication satellites, a unique conception of Telemetry Monitor (TMM) station was adopted. Under arrangement of the Xi'an Satellite Control Center (XSCC) (China), the system used two C band full motion antenna stations (one is used for backup and alternative) to perform TTC during transfer orbit and synchronous orbit phase. Several TMM stations were used to monitor telemetry from several Chinese communication satellites, instead of using limited motion antenna stations. Application of TMM is concluded to be a successful practice based on Chinese conditions.
