Abstract

Future deep space missions (e.g., Pioneer F/G) will be using convolutional coding. The present configuration of the Deep Space Network (DSN) is not suited to perform the decoding of this class of codes. This function (amongst others) will be performed by the Data Decoder Assembly which is scheduled for installation in the DSN in September 1971. This article presents a description of the Data Decoder Assembly and its implementation.
