The DSN radio science system Mark 3, 1980
Abstract
The DSN Radio Science System supported the Voyager 2 Saturn encounter radio science experiments in August 1981. Support for these experiments was provided by all the Deep Space Stations of the DSN. However, the critical support for the Saturn occultation and ring scattering experiment was provided at DSS 43 by the medium-band open-loop recording system. The DSN Radio Science System is descried and the recent implementation at DSS 43 is emphasized.
