Abstract
The Level-4 Prepass Readiness Test (PRT) (the “load and go” countdown) provides an effective and low risk method of improving Network productivity. A carefully controlled trial period preceded the full-scale application of the Level-4 PRT to Pioneer, Helios and Viking cruise tracking operations. Use of this “load and go” concept to count down a station brings about a substantial increase in the proportion of total station hours devoted to spacecraft tracking.
