Abstract
The activities of the Development Support Group in operating and maintaining the Venus Station (DSS 13) and the Microwave Test Facility are discussed and summarized and progress noted during the period February 16 through April 15, 1975. Major activities include testing of hardware/software for a planned ‘‘automated station’’ demonstration, observation of rotational constancy of various pulsars, antenna gain standardization measurements, Block IV Receiver/Exciter testing at DSS 14, differential very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations, and further electromagnetic compatibility testing with the proposed Goldstone Operations Support Radar. Routine clock synchronization transmissions as well as clock synchronization system preparation for Viking and Radio Science Support activities are also discussed.
