The satellite telecommand processing system is the only way to provide telecommands for status monitoring, control, and mission execution. Domestic satellites can be divided into science, technology, and multi-purpose satellites, and geostationary satellites. These Satellites uses CCSDS standard protocol to communicate with ground stations. However, existing domestic satellites use only software to decode telecommands which increases cost of software development and verification of the developed software. Performance of software only approach is relatively low compared to hardware. In this paper, we present ASIC processing system specifically designed to decode telecommands. The system consists of a telecommand RAM, a protocol RAM/ROM, an ASIC, an interface unit of FPGA, and a relay block. The system handles general commands and pulse commands that are used in satellites. We established a ground station equipment and test environment to verify the system functionality, The result shows that our system reduces the development cost by 1/5 and improves the performance by 105 times compared to the previous systems that decode telecommands only by software.
