Description:
The telecommunications availability that can realistically be provided by the tracking and data relay satellite system (TDRSS) for LANDSAT D type missions. Although the assessment focusses on the telecommunications requirements of the near Earth orbit missions of the 1985 - 1989 time frame, it emphasizes LANDSAT D and its competing demand for wideband, real-time RF link services from TDRSS. Limitations in availability of communications services are identified, including systematic TDRSS restrictions, conflicting telecommunication requirements and loading problems of all users (missions) which are to be supported by TDRSS. Several telecommunications alternatives for LANDSAT D utilization independent of TDRSS services are discussed.
