System testing of communications and tracking links for first orbital flight of the Space Transportation System - An update
Abstract
The verification testing of the communication and tracking (C&T) links for the Space Transportation System is examined. Topics discussed include the laboratory integrated verification, Palmdale integrated verification, STDN interface verification, U.S. Air Force satellite control facility interface verification, Mission Control Center integrated verification, KSC launch and landing system verification, in-flight verification, and the Orbiter data reduction complex. Results of system testing are also presented.
