urn:nasa:pds:context:telescope:goldstone.dss14_70m 1.0 1.13.0.0 Product_Context 2020-07-30 1.0 Upgraded for use with a larger set of DSN context products. This file describes the DSS-14 70-m antenna at Goldstone which became operational in 1988. Initial version exported from OLAF. urn:nasa:pds:radiosci.documentation:dsn.810-005 instrument_to_document This reference is to a PDS collection containing several versions of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) Telecommunications Link Design Handbook (Document 810-005). 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 Communications Complex. urn:nasa:pds:context:telescope:goldstone.dss14_64m context_to_associate This context product provides more information on DSS-14 when its aperture was 64 m. 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. urn:nasa:pds:context:instrument:goldstone.dss14_70m.recv_x telescope_to_instrument This context product provides more information on the Goldstone Solar System Radar X-band receiver as used with the 70-m antenna. urn:nasa:pds:context:instrument:goldstone.dss14_70m.trans_x telescope_to_instrument This context product provides more information on the Goldstone Solar System Radar, X-band transmitter as used with the 70-m antenna. https://www.gdscc.nasa.gov/?page_id=40 An overview of the Goldstone Deep Space Communication Complex with photographs.

DSS-14 was first operational in 1964 with a 64-m aperture, supporting the Mariner 4 flyby of Mars; as a result, it was subsequently known as "Mars Station". Its aperture was extended to 70-m in 1988 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 both LCP and right-circular polarization (RCP). It can transmit up to 20 kW at selected frequencies in the 2-8 GHz range. DSS-14 is used occasionally as part of the Goldstone Solar System Radar, which has more powerful transmitters. Antenna coordinates were converted from Table 5 in module 301 (revision L) of the DSN Telecommunications Link Design Handbook (DSN document 810-005).
