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.goldstone telescope_to_facility This context product provides more information on the Goldstone Deep Space Communication Complex. urn:nasa:pds:context:telescope:goldstone.dss13_34m context_to_associate This context product provides more information on the 34-m beam waveguide antenna that was identified as DSS-13 starting in 1991. 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 DSN. DSS-13, however, does not participate in routine commanding, radio tracking, and radio science. https://www.gdscc.nasa.gov/?page_id=40 An overview of the Goldstone Deep Space Communication Complex with photographs. Pull down the menu tab at the bottom of the page for more information on DSS-13. 26 This fully steerable telescope was a research and development radio/radar antenna that was part of the NASA Deep Space Network. It was first operational in 1962 with a 26-m aperture and was named "Venus Station" to commemorate the first radar detection of Venus by radar facilities at Goldstone in 1961. The 26-m antenna was decommissioned in 1991. Its cordinates are not known. A 34-m beam waveguide (BWG) antenna was completed in 1991 at the same general location. It was given the DSS-13 identifier and was used to contnue research and development work at higher frequencies.
