ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis is the generation of a telecommand system for use on the Sunsat microsatellite. This includes the hardware module for integration in the satellite as well as ground station control software. The telecommand system is defined. Functional requirements are specified and used as basis for a conceptual design. In this conceptual design three different paths to the telecommand usisng three different architectures are implemented. Data sources used for control purposes are the two main on-board computers as well the ground station via four different modems. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie tesis is die generasie van 'n telebevel funksie vir gebruik op die Sunsat mikrosatelliet. Dit sluit in 'n hardeware module vir integrasie in die satelliet, asook grondstasie sagteware vir kommunikasie met genoemde hardeware. Die telebevel word volledig gedefinieer. Funksionele vereistes word gebruik as grondslag vir 'n konseptuele ontwerp. Drie verskillende datapaaie met verskillende argitekture word geïmplimenteer vir beheer van die telebevel. Databronne wat beheer kan uitoefen is die twee aanboord rekenaars asook die grondstasie via vier verskillende modems.
