Space Shuttle communications for payloads
Abstract
The payload communication equipment provides duplex PM communications of command and telemetry data between the Orbiter and deployed payloads. Salient performance parameters of the payload hardware are summarized. Included are functional descriptions as well as design capabilities and limitations of each line replaceable unit (LRU). The available payload communication operating modes and frequency coordination between the payload and the orbiter network S-band communication system is discussed.
