| 内容記述 | The initial acquisition of a spacecraft by the Deep Space Network (DSN) is a critical mission event. This results from the importance of rapidly evaluating the health and trajectory of a spacecraft in the event that immediate corrective action might be required. Further, the DSN initial acquisition is always complicated by the most extreme tracking rates of the mission. The DSN initial acquisition characteristics will change considerably in the upcoming space shuttle launch era. How given injection errors at spacecraft separation from the upper stage launch vehicle (carried into orbit by the space shuttle) impact the DSN initial acquisition, and how this information can be factored into injection accuracy requirements to be levied on the Space Transportation System (STS) is addressed. The approach developed begins with the DSN initial acquisition parameters, generates a covariance matrix, and maps this covariance matrix backward to the spacecraft injection, thereby greatly simplifying the task of levying accuracy requirements on the STS, by providing such requirements in a format both familiar and convenient to STS. |
