Abstract

Unattended station operation has been implemented at DSS 13, permitting full operational control from NOCC. Sensors have been installed in the mechanical subsystem to monitor critical functions. These are arranged to permit automated premission checkout of the subsystem, automated reaction to component failure, and identification of failed components under control of the antenna pointing computer. This monitoring installation will serve as a prototype for monitoring equipment to be installed throughout the DSN.
