Obtaining detailed information from solar system exploration missions requires the use of reliable, high-performance communications systems. Planetary landers and orbiters experience a wide variety of challenges, which complicate the design of communications architecture, and which affect the ability of the spacecraft to transmit significant quantities of data back to Earth. Aside from the large distances involved, the spacecraft environment dominates the design and capability of the communications system. As missions become more ambitious in the quantity of data to be generated and the types of environment to be explored, new technologies and techniques are required to meet these communication needs. This article reviews some of the major challenges facing the next generation of solar system missions, and outlines some of the solutions which have been proposed to address them.

This paper presents a tutorial on the Tracking, Telemetry, and Command (TT&C) for spacecraft and satellite missions. In particular, it provides a thorough summary of the design of the TT&C, starting from elementary system aspects and going down to the details of the on-board TT&C subsystem design, its units, and the physical layer. The paper is then complemented with a description of emerging TT&C techniques and technologies, the standardization framework, and with practical examples of actual spacecraft design of European space missions.The tutorial here presented is thought for professionals (also in other telecommunication engineering fields) that want to face the challenges and state-of-the-art of the TT&C, and know more about this fundamental function that allows us to daily control and monitor our spacecraft.
