ALEXIS and HETE are two examples of integrated space and ground station system designed for independent use by research institutions. ALEXIS was designed as a space platform carrying telescopes for technology testing and astrophysical observations. It is schematically presented; specifications are summarized and the ground station design is outlined. The HETE principal mission is the detection and precise location of the sources of gamma ray bursts, using an array of gamma detectors, an imaging x ray telescope and four telescopes. General specifications are given; improvements compared to ALEXIS system are detailed, in particular the structure and specific objectives of the twenty ground stations. Some information is given concerning planning and development budget.
