The Mark III-77 system is configured to support DSN testing and training in preparation for the Mariner-Jupiter-Saturn 1977 and Pioneer-Venus 1978 missions, in addition to the on-going in-flight missions. DSN Test and Trailing System capabilities include functions performed in the Deep Space Stations, Ground Communications Facility, and Network Operations Control Center.
Activities of the network operations organization are reported in support of the Helios Project during December 1976 and January 1977.
The flight payload, its operation, and the support required from the Space Transporatation System (STS) is defined including the flight objectives and requirements, the experiment operations, and the payload configurations. The support required from the STS includes the accommodation of the payload by the orbiter/Spacelab, use of the flight operations network and ground facilities, and the use of the launch site facilities.

The program for analyzing unresolved Mossbauer hyperfine spectra was written in FORTRAN 4 language for the Control Data CYBER 170 series digital computer system with network operating system 1.1. With the present dimensions, the program requires approximately 36,000 octal locations of core storage. A typical case involving two innermost coordination shells in which the amplitudes and the peak positions of all three components were estimated in 25 iterations requires 30 seconds on CYBER 173. The program was applied to determine the effects of various near neighbor impurity shells on hyperfine fields in dilute FeAl alloys.
The objectives, functions, and organization of the Deep Space Network are summarized; deep space station, ground communication, and network operations control capabilities are described.
A description is given of the DSN Telemetry System, Mark3-77, which is used to support multiple deep space missions.
