Abstract

Television pictures from the Mariner 10 spacecraft were received and displayed in real-time at JPL during important phases of the MVM’73 mission. In order for the DSN to support this activity, the telemetry data processing equipment at DSS 14 had to be modified and a special microwave super group channel established between the station and JPL to handle transmission of the high rate (117.6 kbps) data. How this capability was implemented and operated by the DSN is described in this article.
