Expanded the South American ground station network by adding key Brazilian tracking and control facilities.

Added Stations:

  • Brasília: Main military and strategic satellite control center (SGDC).
  • São José dos Campos: Primary Satellite Control Center (CCS) for scientific missions.
  • Cachoeira Paulista: Vital node for image processing (DGI) and weather data (CPTEC).
  • Cuiabá: Strategic telemetry and command station for inland continental coverage.
  • Rio de Janeiro: Major commercial telecommunications hub (Embratel Star One).

Technical Accuracy:
Coordinates and altitudes were mapped based on official INPE and Brazilian Air Force (FAB) data to ensure realistic signal occlusion and handover.
