Abstract
The Networks Consolidation Program (NCP) was approved by the NASA Administrator in the fall of 1979 to combine the resources of the two NASA ground spacecraft tracking networks (the DSN, operated by JPL, and the GSTDN, operated by GSFC) into one consolidated network. This consolidated network will provide support to both deep space and high earth-orbiting spacecraft which cannot be supported by the TDRSS. Previous TDA Progress Reports traced the history of activities and events that led to the decision to consolidate the NASA ground tracking and data networks into a single network. This report shows progress of the NCP from the previous report to the present, with special emphasis on planning and budgeting activities which have occurred.
