Abstract
A plan was proposed in mid-1971 wherein unique Deep Space Network (DSN) equipment would be installed in the 26-m antenna Manned Space Flight Network (MSEN) operations control room and integrated to function with pre-existing MSFN equipment. This effort was initiated at the Pioneer Deep Space Station (DSS 11) site in November 1970 and shortly thereafter at the two overseas sites. This plan allows the 26-m antenna DSN tracking capability to exist at these sites while the 64-m antenna is in the process of being built and integrated into the original 26-m antenna DSN control room. The details of the integration efforts at the DSS 11 prototype station are outlined, and significant accomplishments and milestones are indicated. The equipment layout in the operations control room is illustrated and the unique operational and electrical interfaces between the DSN equipment and the MSFN equipment are described.
