NASA deep space network operations planning and preparation

The responsibilities and structural organization of the Operations Planning Group of NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) Operations are outlined. The Operations Planning group establishes an early interface with a user's planning organization to educate the user on DSN capabilities and limitations for deep space tracking support. A team of one or two individuals works through all phases of the spacecraft launch and also provides planning and preparation for specific events such as planetary encounters. Coordinating interface is also provided for nonflight projects such as radio astronomy and VLBI experiments. The group is divided into a Long Range Support Planning element and a Near Term Operations Coordination element.

Tracking and data systems support for the Helios project. Volume 3: DSN support of Project Helios May 1976 - June 1977

Spacecraft extended mission coverage does not generally carry a high priority, but Helios was fortunate in that a combination of separated viewperiods and unique utilization of the STDN Goldstone antenna have provided a considerable amount of additional science data return, particularly at key times such a perihelion and/or solar occultation.

Helios mission support

Deep Space Network support of Helios mission operations is discussed. Included is information on the Helios 1, 7th aphelion, Helios 2, 5th aphelion, science experiments, 22-bit error polynomial code (EPC) testing, and other mission-related activities. Mission operations and status are summarized and specific correction commands are described. Special activities and experiments include Faraday rotation data collection and a solar wind tracks experiment.
