Abstract
Two S-band maser systems with equivalent input noise temperatures of 2.1 K have been supplied to the Deep Space Network. These masers will be used on 64-m antennas at Deep Space Stations 14 and 43 to meet special requirements of the Mariner Venus/Mercury (MVM’73) mission. The masers use a new shortened and cooled signal input transmission line to reduce noise and are equipped with superconducting magnets to provide the best possible stability performance.
