Abstract
The previous article, in The Deep Space Network Progress Report 42-22, discussed the Helios Prototype Model Spacecraft/DSN compatibility test effort conducted at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena. Since that time, the prototype has been transported to Cape Canaveral where it will serve both as a forerunner to the first flight spacecraft and as back-up. This article treats the compatibility verification tests that were performed after the prototype’s arrival at Cape Canaveral, with particular emphasis upon the first use of the former Spacecraft Compatibility Station equipment in the consolidated Spacecraft Tracking and Data Network facility at Merritt Island, Florida.
