Abstract

This article is the second in a series of energy consumption analysis and verification reports for the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex. Results for the energy consumption analysis at the Mars Deep Space Station are presented. It is shown that the major energy consumers are the 64-Meter Antenna Building and the Operations Support Building. Verification of the antenna’s energy consumption is highly dependent on an accurate knowledge of the tracking operations. The report also indicates the importance of a regular maintenance schedule for the watt-hour meters installed at the station.
