Block 1, phase 1 very long baseline interferometry implementation
Abstract
The Block 1, phase 1 VBLI System, implemented in the Deep Space Network and currently undergoing system testing, is discussed. The system can be characterized as the modification of existing equipment and the addition of new software in the 64 m subnet and the addition of new hardware and software in the Network Operations and Control Center. It is to be operational to support Voyager project navigation requirements and is to provide, on a weekly basis, the information related to station clock synchronization, UT1, and polar motion.
