| Summary: | International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 09-11, 1973 / Sheraton Inn Northeast, Washington, D.C. === A system design and test plan are described for operational evaluation of the
NASA-Goddard Position Location and Aircraft Communications Equipment (PLACE), at
C-band (4/6GHz), using NASA’s ship, the USNS Vanguard, and the ATS-3 and ATS-5
synchronous satellites. The Sea Test phase, extending from March 29, 1973 to April 15,
1973 has been successfully completed; the principal objectives of the experiment were
achieved. Typical PLACE-computed, position-location data is shown for the Vanguard.
Position location and voice-quality measurements were excellent; ship position was
determined within 2 nmi; high-quality, 2-way voice transmissions resulted as determined
from audience participation, intelligibility and articulation-index analysis.
A C-band/L-band satellite trilateration experiment is discussed. |
