Roentgensatellit (ROSAT)

The DSN (Deep Space Network) mission support requirements for ROSAT (Roentgensatellit) are summarized. ROSAT is an international cooperative program between NASA and the Bundesministerium fuer Forschung and Technologie (BMFT). The satellite was launched on a Delta 2 vehicle and placed in a circular orbit at an altitude of 580 km, with a 53-deg inclination. The mission objectives are outlined and the DSN support requirements are defined through the presentation of tables and narratives describing the spacecraft flight profile; DSN support coverage; frequency assignments; support parameters for telemetry and command; and tracking support responsibility.

The AMPTE IRM Science Data Center

The creation of artificial ion clouds is a major aspect of the AMPTE program. The IRM Science Data center supports real-time decision for a release with real-time scientific data processing and display including model calculations of ion trajectories. Additionally, survey plots and summary data records are generated in near real time thus allowing to start the data analysis as early as possible. For detailed analyses, interactive programs were developed so that physical parameters of all IRM experiments can be combined to produce common spectra or line plots.
