Abstract
Two types of 26-m tracking stations are available to the Deep Space Network (DSN) for spacecraft tracking. Pioneer F will be supported primarily by the Mutual stations. This article describes in some detail the various functions performed by the Mutual station tracking system and compares its equipments and functions with those of the standard DSN tracking station. The operational capabilities and interfaces between the modules within the station are presented in the logical sequence, with the final output interfacing with the Ground Communications Facility and the Space Flight Operations Facility.
