Description:
The status of the X-band uplink development program is examined from a systems' viewpoint. The hardware, designed and built under the program, is now in place at DSS-13. System stability testing is underway. An X-band receive capability is being implemented on both the Galileo and the Venus Radar Mapper spacecraft. Experiments are planned to demonstrate the capabilities of the X-band uplink system and to permit performance of the gravitational wave experiment on the Galileo orbiter and obtain a more detailed gravity map of Venus.
