Abstract
AT DSS 13 (the Venus Station), the subsystems necessary for telemetry reception from spacecraft have been placed under the control of an on-station supervisory computer (Station Controller) and various subsystem controllers, with control inputs originating from Network Operations Control Center (NOCC) at JPL, and monitor inputs from the various Station Subsystems available to the NOCC Operator. The controlled subsystems at DSS 13 include the Antenna and Servo, Microwave Configuration, Block III Receiver, and Subcarrier Demodulator Assembly. System concepts, overall system description, computer controlled subsystem capabilities, and system testing are discussed. Testing, with control being exercised from NOCC at JPL, has been performed on both Helios and Voyager spacecraft. The test program is continuing.
