The Handbook is maintained in a modular format to provide interface design data to flight projects using the DSN. Modules are updated as appropriate. Each member product in the PDS collection is the set of modules as they applied at that point in time. Modules include: 001 Handbook Introduction 101 70-m Subnet Telecommunications Interfaces 102 26-m Subnet Telecommunications Interfaces (omitted in 2009 and later versions) 103 34-m HEF Subnet Telecommunications Interfaces 104 34-m BWG Antennas Telecommunications Interfaces 105 Atmospheric and Environmental Effects 106 Solar Corona and Solar Wind Effects 107 Radio Source Catalog 201 Frequency and Channel Assignments 202 34-m and 70-m Doppler 203 Sequential Ranging 205 Command Service 206 Telemetry General Information 207 34-m and 70-m Telemetry Reception 208 Telemetry Data Decoding 209 Open-Loop Radio Science 210 Delta Differrential One-way Ranging 211 Wideband Very Long Baseline Interferometry 214 Pseudonoise and Regenerative Ranging 301 Coverage and Geometry 302 Antenna Positioning 303 Media Calibration 304 Frequency and Timing 305 Test Support 901 Handbook Glossary urn:nasa:pds:context:facility:observatory.dsn telescope_to_facility This context product provides more information on the NASA Deep Space Network as a whole. urn:nasa:pds:context:facility:observatory.canberra telescope_to_facility This context product provides more information on the Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex. urn:nasa:pds:context:telescope:canberra.dss43_64m context_to_associate This context product provides more information on DSS-43 when its aperture was 64 meters (1972-1987). urn:nasa:pds:context:instrument:dsn.rss telescope_to_instrument This context product provides more information on the commanding, radio tracking, and radio science instrumentation at the telescope. https://www.cdscc.nasa.gov/Pages/welcome.html An overview of the Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex with photographs. Pull down the Antennas menu and select "DSS 43" for this antenna. 70 148.981267 -35.402424 688.867 WGS 84 Ellipsoid This fully steerable telescope is a parabolic reflector radio antenna that is part of the NASA Deep Space Network. It was first operational in 1972 with a 64-m aperture. The aperture was extended to 70-m in 1987 to support the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune. The antenna can receive at frequencies between about 1.6 and 8.6 GHz in left-circular polarization (LCP); over 2.0-8.6 GHz it can receive simultaneously in RCP. It can transmit up to 100 kW at 2.1 GHz (S-band) and up to 20 kW at 7.1 GHz (X-band). Antenna coordinates were converted from Table 5 in module 301 (revision L) of the DSN Telecommunications Link Design Handbook (DSN document 810-005). The Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex (CDSCC) is managed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science research agency. The CDSCC is at Tidbinbilla, about 35 km southwest of Canberra, ACT.
