SATELLITE CONTROL FACILITY EQUIPMENT AUGMENTATION. DESIGN CRITERIA, INTER-STATION COMMUNICATION SUBSYSTEM

Abstract

Design criteria are established for re-configuration of the inter- station communications equipment of the satellite control facility. The inter- station communication links defined by these criteria shall terminate in a central location for connection to the intra-station communication facilities and terminal equipment. The augmented Inter-Station Communication Subsystems shall be capable of providing the following: (a) simultaneous voice communications from two controllers at each of the augmented SCF ground stations to two controllers at the sta, and single voice channels to the other stations via sta; (b) efficient machine handling of data between each tracking station and the sta to support as many as two simultaneous passes to any one station; (c) supervisory and control message traffic for satellite support; (d) normal administrative traffic not specifically associated with satellite support; and (e) auto synchronization check unit to permit rapid resynchronization.
