Abstract
This article reports on the Compatibility Test System (CTS) that will be used at the Compatibility Test Area, JPL, Pasadena (CTA 21), and the Spacecraft Compatibility/Monitor Station, Merritt Island, Florida (STDN MIL 71), to perform telecommunications compatibility tests with the Mariner Jupiter-Saturn 1977 and the Pioneer Venus 1978 spacecraft. The functional design of the new system utilizes capabilities provided by a Compatibility Test Assembly and the Mark III DSN Data Subsystems (MDS) configuration. A discussion of the Compatibility Test System implementation identifies the special-purpose equipment which comprises the Compatibility Test Assembly.
