DSN Co-Observing Operations to Support Space VLBI Missions
Reliable radio astronomy support of Space Very-Long-Baseline- Interferometry missions by ground radio telescopes is mandatory in order to achieve high scientific return from missions, The 70m DSN antennas along with other ground radio telescopes will perform as the ground segment of the Earth-space interferometer. Improvements of radio astronomy VLBI operations at the DSN to achieve higher reliability, efficiency, flexibility, and lower operations costs is a major goal in preparing for radio astronomy support of SVLBI. To help realize this goal, a remote control and monitoring mode for radio astronomy operations at the DSN is being developed.
