abstract = "The CubeSat concept contributed to the consolidation of standards
to small satellites that sets a role model for the construction of
the space segment. However, projects and research in the ground
segment of these satellites in Latin America still did not reach
the same level of achievements as the space segment. This work
aims to present the developments done at INPE in the development
of a reference process to assist in the creation of ground
stations that could be used for those interested in tracking and
receiving data from small satellites in service. This refer-ence
process can be used by graduate and undergraduate students in
general to provide the ground segment of the next generation of
small satellites. It illustrates a case study focused on
Brazilianīs CubeSat pro-jects so it can become later an active and
constant participation in whole Latin America. The development of
small satellites projects are flourish-ing in various Latin
America universities. Moreover, Brazil showed a significant
improvement in the development of such satellites with re-sults as
the NanoSat-Br1 and the AESP-14. Henceforth, this work pre-sents a
reference process based on systems engineering (Concurrent Systems
Engineering Laboratory - LSIS at LIT) as a decision-making guide
for the development of a ground station architecture for small
sat-ellites that meets the needs of having a ground segment
itself. The re-sults are presented as a systems engineering
process guide for the devel-opment of ground stations for Pico and
Nano satellites.",
