Abstract

The Helios flight 1 spacecraft/DSN compatibility testing followed a very successful three-phase compatibility test program for the Helios prototype spacecraft. This article covers the tests from arrival of the flight 1 spacecraft at Cape Canaveral, Florida through launch. The compatibility tests consisted of (1) DSN/ spacecraft radio frequency tests at both weak and strong signal levels, and (2) verification of radio frequency compatibility with the Helios flight 1 spacecraft mated to the launch vehicle at Launch Complex 41.
