The first European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS-1) is the world's first fully integrated remote sensing system in that all activities performed on board and on the ground, up to data product delivery to the user, are an integral part of the ERS-1 system. This necessarily involves an advanced and dedicated ground segment, the monitor and control of which require full integration with the spacecraft mission control itself. The Product Dissemination (PRODIS) Facility, which collects satellite instrument data, produces output products for rapid distribution, disseminates them, and forwards the recorded raw instrument data to processing and archiving facilities, is described. Attempts to handle the principle ground station using a spacecraft control system, as though it were an independent spacecraft itself, are described. This was successful to a great extent and provides a possible option for consideration by future projects.
