Abstract
This paper provides in Its Initial part a general introduction to Flight Control of Satellites. Thereafter, it describes the automatic instrument control implemented in ESOC for the GE0S-1 and 2 missions where it mainly concentrates on the systems and operational aspects. It points out that automatic closed loop control from ground is, for certain control functions, in particular for geostationary application satellites, a recommendable and cost effective alternative to onboard autonomous control.
