Abstract
There are two important telecommunications system interfaces: (1) between the spacecraft and the space shuttle, and (2) between the spacecraft and the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). Since the shuttle and TDRSS are new, an introductory discussion of their basic telecommunication interface properties is provided. However, this chapter is far from a comprehensive treatment of the subject. For a more complete description of shuttle and TDRSS telecommunications, the reader should consult [12–1], [12–2], and [12–3].
