The purpose is to develop a software-to-hardware coupled application customized for an earth station (located in the city of Tunja - Boyaca, Colombia) and an orbit prediction software pac kage [1] developed by INFELCOM. This application should automatically control the positioning of the antennas at the station. To design the positioning control, Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques were used together with selection genetic algorithms, and simulated annealing algorithms. %K Actuator %K control %K ground station %K artificial intelligence %U http://tecnura.udistrital.edu.co/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/513/490
