Abstract

The major developments leading to successful demonstration of fully unattended operation of a DSN station (DSS 13) are reviewed. Unattended operation was demonstrated by reliably tracking, commanding, and delivering telemetry from the Pioneer 8 spacecraft. Transfer of automated monitor and control technology to DSN implementation is summarized, along with related accomplishments.
