The GRM maintains constant communication with each GEP to configure contacts, confirm GEP status, and relay contact metrics. As the terrestrial link to a proliferated communications constellation, the GEP transmits uplink commanding to the Space Vehicles (SVs) and relays received data back to the Operation Center (OC) for decryption and routing to end users through secure channels.
