==Health Monitoring and Analysis of Components==
Satellites are complex systems and need to be closely monitored by frequently tracking and receiving data of several onboard parameters. This helps in detecting any anomalies or possible failures in the system. The health monitoring data is downlinked from the satellite and received on the ground station. It is called telemetry. Using this data, one gets to know if the satellite is functioning properly or not. The diagnosis of failure of a component is done through this data. Thus, we can investigate such faults and properly document them for future references.
