A. L. Berman, W. E. Larkin, J. C. Mckinney

Abstract

The launching of deep space payloads via the Space Shuttle vehicle of the Space Transportation System, rather than via expendable launch vehicles, is described. Changes in procedures and data flow configurations for both the flight project and DSN during the launch period are required. A typical Galileo launch period sequence of events and telemetry and command data flow configurations are described.
