Scientific paper

An overview of the SAX (Satellite for Astronomy in X-rays) mission and a description of the ground OCC (Operational Control Center) is presented. SAX-OCC hardware and software architecture is presented with particular respect to those elements which characterize this center. The SAX-OCC is designed taking into account two different needs. The first one is classical for a control center and is the satellite and ground station monitor and control functionality while the second need is derived from a set of functionalities which are more specific and are strictly related to the scientific nature of the SAX mission. The combination of these needs leads to the development of a hardware configuration which is more powerful than one normally conceived for a geostationay communication satellite control center.
