A method for monitoring and controlling satellite signal performance in a satellite transmission system, wherein components of the satellite transmission system include one or more uplink antennas, a satellite spacecraft, a plurality of customer receivers, a data lake, and a monitoring and control system, the method comprising:
- obtaining signal trend data at the data lake from at least some of the plurality of customer receivers, wherein the signal trend data is obtained from downlink signal beams received at the plurality of customer receivers from the satellite spacecraft, wherein the plurality of customer receivers is located across a diverse geographical region, and wherein the signal trend data include metadata;
- accessing the signal trend data at the data lake from the monitoring and control system;
- measuring the signal trend data from each of the signal beams that were obtained across the diverse geographical region;
- analyzing metadata from the components of the satellite transmission system and spectral sampling;
- identifying poorly trending signal parameters from the signal trend data of actual spot beam coverage using the signal trend data and the analyzed metadata, wherein the poorly trending signal parameters are defined as signals trending out of pre-determined specification limits;
- correlating probable causes of the poorly trending signal parameters;
- predicting remediation actions to correct the poorly trending signal parameters;
- and
- executing one or more remediation actions to correct the poorly trending signal parameters, before the poorly trending signal parameters reach the pre-determined specification limits.
