NASA NTRS1974

TDRSS telecommunications study, phase 2

Providing an extension to parametric analysis of the telecommunications support capability of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS), this phase considers candidate modulation waveforms which could meet the shuttle telecommunications requirements and also be compatible with the TDRSS single access S-band service. In addition, it considers the feasibility of modifying a single access S-band user transponder for operation with conventional STDN signals emanating from remotely located ground stations.

TDRSS telecommunications study. Phase 1: Final report

A parametric analysis of the telecommunications support capability of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) was performed. Emphasis was placed on maximizing support capability provided to the user while minimizing impact on the user spacecraft. This study evaluates the present TDRSS configuration as presented in the TDRSS Definition Phase Study Report, December 1973 to determine potential changes for improving the overall performance. In addition, it provides specifications of the user transponder equipment to be used in the TDRSS.
