Abstract
This paper describes the current work at NASA/Johnson Space Center in the area of RF coverage analysis and performanceassessment for the Space Shuttle Program communication and tracking radio links. Trajectories, antenna data, ground station and Shuttle hardware performance characteristics and RF link math models were assimilated to generate RF link performance predictions for the three basic mission phases-ascent, on-orbit, and descent. Results identify some earlier deficiencies that required re-configuration of the ground station. Overall performance is currently satisfactory.
