Possible implementations and recommendations for the Space Shuttle Ku-Band integrated communications/radar antenna tracking system were evaluated. Communication aspects involving the Tracking Data Relay Satellite (TDRS)/Orbiter Ku-Band link are emphasized.
Introduction The development of the antenna subsystems for the Space Shuttle Orbiter communication, tracking, and navigation functions will require compatible solutions for problems encountered in the design of antennas for spacecraft, re-entry vehicles, and high performance aircraft.
Space Shuttle antenna subsystem design The unique nature of the Shuttle Orbiter is that all of its systems must meet the design requirements of a spacecraft as well as the basic aircraft requirements for atmospheric flight. The Shuttle antenna system design, therefore, faces many unique problems.
Antenna selection is based on the computed line of sight to the NASA STDN ground station, the AFSCF ground station, or the TDRS in view, depending on the orbiter communication mode. The current antenna selection is shown on the OPS 201.
10 Ιαν 2024 · Space Shuttle Technical Diagrams. This series of diagrams should be especially interesting and useful for modelers and other space enthusiasts who want to see "blueprints" of the Space Shuttle orbiter. Special thanks to Chris Gamble who scanned the images.
Communications Capability. Limited lunar coverage. Existing Earth-based Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) can presently provide limited Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and translunarbackup systems for critical communications in lunar vicinity due to area coverage limitations.
This upgrade enables the space station to send back more data at once than ever before. The space station communicates with Earth through radio frequency signals using NASA's constellation of Tracking and Data Relay Satellites and ground-based antennas, both operated by ACCESS.
