LESTR-2 TELEMETRY GROUND SYSTEM

Abstract

A new telemetry ground station identified as LESTR-2 and intended for use with LES-5 and LES-6 satellites is described for the purpose of defining interface requirements and available outputs. Like the previous ground station, LESTR-2 provides a printed paper-tape output as well as a magnetic-tape output. In addition, however, it includes a number of new features and outputs such as selectable-word printout from a second printer, telephone data-set output for remote real-time data processing, and automatic frame-format identification.
