This product applies after September 2005, when the relocation of the antenna had been completed. 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.madrid telescope_to_facility This context product provides more information on the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex. urn:nasa:pds:context:telescope:madrid.dss65_34m context_to_associate This context product provides more information on DSS-65 before it was moved. 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.mdscc.nasa.gov/index.php/en/history/ An overview of the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex with photographs.

This fully steerable telescope was a dual-shaped reflector radio antenna that was part of the NASA Deep Space Network. It was first operational in 1987 with a 34-m aperture; it is expected to be decommissioned in 2021. When operational, the antenna could receive at frequencies in the range 2.0-8.6 GHz in right- or left-circular polarization (but not simultaneously). It could transmit 50-250 W at 2.1 GHz or up to 20 kW at 7.1 GHz. Antenna coordinates were converted from Table 5 in module 301 (revision L) of the DSN Telecommunications Link Design Handbook (DSN document 810-005). The Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex (MDSCC) is located about 65 km west of Madrid, near the town of Robledo de Chevala, Spain. Under an agreement between the governments of Spain and the United States, dated 1964-01-29, the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA) and the U.S. space agency NASA signed a contract for operation and maintenance of the MDSCC facilities. The creation, in 1992, of the state-owned Aerospace Engineering and Services, SA (INSA, S.A.) under INTA, allowed the concentration of these responsibilities in the new company. INSA has disappeared and Ingeniería de Sistemas para la Defensa de España is the company that has managed MDSCC since December 2012.
