Abstract
Ina previous article the basis for integration and data systems testing between the Compatibility Test Area (CTA 21) and the Viking Mission Control and Computing Center (VMCCC) was given, and the first eleven of these tests were described. This article describes the concluding tests in the system integration series and the results of a series of five data system compatibility tests. These tests provide an end-to-end verification of the integrity of the Ground Data System under typical mission loading conditions. Starting with the modulated RF carriers input to CTA 21, the data are sequentially processed through the station, passed across the Ground Communications Facility to VMCCC and finally displayed in the Mission Support Areas. For several of these tests, maximum data loading conditions were established which included six simultaneous telemetry data streams, two command streams, one monitor and one tracking data stream.
