Versatile, modular, comprehensive, highly extensible:  A complete CCSDS/TDM telemetry and telecommand front-end processing solution, linking spacecraft uplink/downlink with the ground segment.

PTP OVERVIEW: The Programmable Telemetry and Command Processor (PTP) is a highly versatile, modular telemetry and command front-end processor for use in remote tracking stations and satellite operations centers. The PTP is also well suited for spacecraft integration and testing at the factory and on the launch pad. To support missions that employ bulk encrypted telemetry and command streams, the PTP provides a control and status interface for encryption/decryption equipment 

SATELLITE / GROUND GATEWAY: The PTP acts as a gateway between spacecraft uplink/downlink and a distributed satellite control system. It accepts multiple serial telemetry downlinks and performs TDM or CCSDS telemetry processing functions, including frame synchronization, error control coding, and time tagging. Frame data with quality annotation and time tag is simultaneously logged to disk and routed to the control center via the network.
