Abstract

A hardware-software system is described that is capable of selecting the one from among as many as six incoming data streams which is best by an externally programmed criterion and switching it automatically to the Deep Space Instrumentation Facility (DSIF) Telemetry System. The system has been implemented at the Cape Kennedy Compatibility Test Station to provide the best spacecraft telemetry stream to the DSIF Telemetry System during the near-earth phase of a tracking mission, when as many as six Air Force Eastern Test Range stations are receiving spacecraft telemetry.
