A collection of some of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's space missions
selected to represent the planetary communications designs for a
progression of various types of missions The text uses a case study
approach to show the communications link performance resulting from
the planetary communications design developed by the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL). This is accomplished through the description of the
design and performance of six representative planetary missions. These
six cases illustrate progression through time of the communications
system's capabilities and performance from 1970s technology to the
most recent missions. The six missions discussed in this book span the
Voyager for fly-bys in the 1970s, Galileo for orbiters in the 1980s,
Deep Space 1 for the 1990s, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) for
planetary orbiters, Mars Exploration Rover (MER) for planetary rovers
in the 2000s, and the MSL rover in the 2010s. Deep Space
Communications: Provides an overview of the Deep Space Network and its
capabilities Examines case studies to illustrate the progression of
system design and performance from mission to mission and provides a
broad overview of the missions systems described Discusses actual
flight mission telecom performance of each system Deep Space
Communications serves as a reference for scientists and engineers
interested in communications systems for deep-space telecommunications
link analysis and design control.
