# Ground station contact profile

The contact profile object stores pass requirements such as links and endpoint details for each link. Use this object with the spacecraft object at time of scheduling to view and schedule available passes.

You can create many contact profiles to represent different types of passes depending on your mission operations. For example, you can create a contact profile for a command and control pass or a contact profile for a downlink only pass.

These objects are mutable and don't undergo an authorization process like the spacecraft objects do. One contact profile can be used with many spacecraft objects.

Specify a minimum pass time to ensure passes of a certain duration. Specify a minimum elevation to ensure passes above a certain elevation.

The two parameters above are used by the service during the contact scheduling. Avoid changing these on a pass-by-pass basis and create multiple contact profiles if you need such flexibility.

## Understanding links and channels

A whole band, unique in direction, and unique in polarity is called a link. Channels, which are children under links, specify center frequency, bandwidth, and endpoints. Typically there's only one channel per link but some applications require multiple channels per link.

You can specify an EIRP and G/T requirement for each link. EIRP applies to uplinks and G/T applies to downlinks. You can give a name to each link and channel to keep track of these properties and each channel has a modem associated with it. Follow the steps in [how to setup software modem](modem-chain.md) to understand the options.
