Abstract

The procurement of two 64-m antennas for the overseas deep space stations was authorized with new vendors. These changes engendered new procedures to insure quality manufacturing of the surface panels for maximum RF performance. The new checking procedures are described including the mathematical formulations and functional aspects of the checking fixtures. A computer program was developed to solve the parameters. Notes on the computing of arc lengths along the parabolic curve are included.
