The kernel only does that if there is a piece of application code that 
is bound to that socket.

Ok, so the ground station PC is acting as a proxy and you don't want 
that. You want it to *route* the IP packets rather than be an 
application level proxy.

So at the moment you are connecting to a socket that is bound in the 
ground station PC. There is a piece of code there than binds and then 
accepts the connection. Stop doing that and have iptables forward/nat 
the packets instead.

If all that is incorrect, then you have not provided anywhere enough 
information on the how's and why's.
