Abstract

The outages experienced on the present Ground Communications Facility (GCF) 4800-bits/s high-speed data subsystem have been examined. An outage is defined as any interval when 10 or more consecutive high-speed data (HSD) blocks were received in error or were not received at all. For a 3-month period in 1973, outages ranged from 2.5 s to 4.8 h in length. The median outage was 15 s. Approximately 16% of the outages exceeded 1 min, and only 1.5% exceeded 15 min duration.
