+# Get Started with Azure Orbital Ground Station
+
+Azure Orbital Ground Station can be used to communicate with a private satellite or a selection of public satellites.
+
+## Learn about resources
+
+Azure Orbital Ground Station uses three different types of resources:
+- [Spacecraft](spacecraft-object.md)
+- [Contact profile](concepts-contact-profile.md)
+- [Contact](concepts-contact.md)
+
+You need to create each of these resources before you can successfully contact your satellite. Click the links to learn more about each of these resources.
+
+A spacecraft object is a representation of your satellite in Azure Orbital Ground Station and stores links, ephemeris, and licensing information. A contact profile stores pass requirements such as links, channels, and network endpoint details.
+Contacts are scheduled at a designated time for a particular combination of a spacecraft and contact profile. When you schedule a contact for a spacecraft, a contact object is created under your spacecraft object in your resource group.
+
+## 1. Register a spacecraft
+
+[Register a spacecraft](register-spacecraft.md) to add it to your subscription. This process includes creating the spacecraft resource and requesting authorization to use this spacecraft according to the spacecraft and ground station licenses.
+
+   > [!NOTE] 
+   > Before spacecraft resources can be created and authorized for private satellites, proper regulatory licenses for both satellites and relevant ground stations must be obtained.
+
+## 2. Prepare the network
+
+[Set up your network](prepare-network.md) by preparing your subnet for VNET injection, setting the endpoints, and ensuring your objects are configured correctly.
+
+## 3. Integrate partner networks
+
+If you're using one of Azure Orbital Ground Station's partner ground station networks, [integrate the partner network](partner-network-integration.md)
+
+## 4. Configure the modem
+
+[Configure the RF chain](modem-chain.md), choosing to utilize a managed modem or virtual RF.
+
+## 5. Set up telemetry
+
+Use Azure Event Hubs to [set up real-time antenna telemetry](receive-real-time-telemetry.md).
+
+## 6. Configure a contact profile
+
+[Configure a contact profile](contact-profile.md) for your spacecraft.
+
+## 7. Schedule a contact
+
+[Schedule a contact](schedule-contact.md) for a particular spacecraft and contact profile.
+If needed, you can [cancel a contact](delete-contact.md).
+
+## 8. Update spacecraft TLE
+
+[Update your spacecraft's TLE](update-tle.md) to ensure it remains current.
