<p>The Mobile CubeSat Command and Control (MC3) system provides ground support for the Colony II program. The combination  of commercial off-the-shelf hardware with government off-the-shelf control software make for a low cost ground station solution.  The Naval Postgraduate School will partner with select educational facilities to provide a world-wide footprint for Colony II  satellite operations. To assist these partner facilities, the author created a detailed assembly and setup guide targeted to an average  college student, a typical user for the MC3 ground station. This thesis captures the assembly process and documents lessons  learned to help future operators of MC3 ground stations in their educational endeavors. Also included is an analysis and discussion  of the Global Educational Network for Satellite Operations network and its suitability for performing the Colony II ground segment mission and possibly supplementing the MC3 network.
