Abstract
TRISCAN is a method of improving the alignment between the boresight of the Deep Space Network antennas and a particular target, spacecraft, or radio source (star). For stars, the method works in conjunction with the noise-adding radiometer and the Antenna Pointing System to form estimates of the alignment offset coordinates. This information is then used to position the antenna for improved target alignment. A comparison with CONSCAN is included since a CONSCAN study led to TRISCAN development.
