AFSCN stands for which?

AFSCN stands for Air Force Satellite Control Network. It’s the worldwide system of ground stations that communicates with satellites to provide telemetry, tracking, and command—often abbreviated TT&C—so the Air Force can monitor and control its spacecraft. The official wording uses Control, not Command, and includes Air Force and Satellite in that order, which is why that option is correct. The other phrases omit Air Force or swap Control for Command, or refer to a different network name, so they don’t match the official expansion.
