Abstract
The DSN Radio Science System supported the Voyager 2 Saturn encounter radio science experiments in August 1981. Support for these experiments was provided by all the Deep Space Stations of the DSN. However, the critical support for the Saturn occultation and ring scattering experiment was provided at DSS 43 by the medium-band openloop recording system. The implementation of the medium-band open-loop recording system at DSS 43 culminated many years of effort by the DSN to provide a DSN multimission radio science capability, and all 64-m DSS open-loop recording systems are now essentially identical. This article describes the DSN Radio Science System, emphasizing the recent implementation at DSS 43.
