Abstract

J. Woo DSIF Digital Systems Development The Multiple-Mission Command System (MMCS) Project was established in January 1969 to design, test, and install throughout the Deep Space Network (DSN) a command system capable of supporting all foreseeable spacecraft with a single command system. In order to provide support for the Mariner Mars 1971 (MM ’71) Mission the equipment was required by early Fall of 1970. These objectives have all been met. All DSN stations considered prime for the MM’71 Mission have been implemented with the dual MMCS capability, including the PN sync units required for the MM ’71 Mission. The DSN stations considered as backup stations for MM ’71 have been implemented with dual MMCSs; however, only one PN sync unit per station was provided.
