EURECA represents a free flying, multipurpose, reusable space platform. Complementary to the complex onboard system new and challenging requirements were also put on the ground segments, on their concepts, and architectures. Ground and flight control are essentially driven by the large number of experiments to be monitored and controlled, the long mission duration, and the extremely limited periods of ground contacts. The ESOC flight operation control center has taken prime responsibility to guide the EURECA system through all phases of the mission, including the deployment and retrieval interactions with NASA Space Shuttle.
