Abstract
The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) will consist of three identical satellites in geosynchronous orbits and a dedicated ground receiving station. The first two satellites (TDRS East and TDRS West) will form the operational TDRS service network providing near-global real-time user satellite coverage. The third TDRS satellite will act as an in-orbit spare. Since the TDRSS satellites are supported by a single ground station, a method of providing emergency support for TDRS and user satellites is needed. This article describes the support to be provided by JPL’s Deep Space Network.
