Abstract
Each spacecraft supported by the DSN must be acquired and tracked by a deep space station (DSS). The first acquisition, generally referred to as initial acquisition, is unique for each spacecraft and presents problems that must be recognized and resolved long before a launch actually takes place. This article tells how plans are developed and implemented to ensure the successful beginning of DSN tracking support.
