Description:
An automated antenna pointing subsystem (APS) is being installed at DSS 13 as part of the unattended station project. The function of the APS is to track an instructed position with the 26 meter antenna and to monitor the antenna servo system and meteorological conditions to ensure a proper operational environment. This article discusses the now-completed first phase of the digital hardware portion of the APS development.
