Design, measurement and achievement of a high level of service availability in a domestic satellite communications network
Abstract
Presented are elements of a service quality program established to achieve high levels of availability performance for the RCA Satcom satellite communications network. Definitions and cookbook equations are provided for the measurement and assessment of availability for repairable systems. Performance data results are charted for the types of facilities within the system and by the kind of services provided. A presentation is made of spacecraft anomalies that have caused service outages. Effects of terrestrial design and specification requirements on performance are highlighted.
