A. GENERAL, The performance Fequirements of the satellite
vehicles comprising the space-borne test platforms to be used in ex-
ploiting the technical capabilities of the Samos Program are established
in this tab, 0

B. DESIGN OBJECTIVE. The basic objective of the satellite
vehicle shall be to. achieve the flight mission capability defined in Tab }
of this Section. The satellite vehicle shall be designed in four basic
configurations for the readout Portion of the Samos Program and one
basic configuration for the recovery portion of the Samos Program,
The design will satisfy the requirements of Table 1, Nominal Perform-
ance, and Table I, Flight Missions and Configurations, of this tab.

TM. DESIGN CRITERIA. lo

A. PUBLICATIONS. The following publications shall be used in
the design of the satellite vehicles for the Samos Program:

computations), digital data output equipment, standby power units, and
antennas. The equipment is listed in Tab 5 of Section 2.

2. VHE_ACQUISITION AND TRACKING EQUIPMENT. The
VHF acquisition and tracking equipment shall Provide the means for

accomplishing initial acquisition and rough tracking of the vehicle. The
equipment shall consist, in part, of tri-helix antennas with associated
control equipment, preamplifiers, multicouplers, and phase- coherent
Doppler receivers. The tri-helix antenna output shall perform three
functions by providing an RF signal which is used for acquisition and
tracking; telemetry information which is fed to a telematry receiver
for data reduction; and Doppler information which is fed to a phase-
coherent receiver for vehicle velocity determination. The r:

integral part of the VHF acquisition and tracking equipme:
sist of TLM-18 (60-foot parabolic dish) antennas with ase
trol and drive equipment, Preamplifiers, multicouple:
and reconnaissance data receiving equipment, and null eking er:
signal unite which shall provide control information for dizecting the
60-foot dish antenna. The TLM-18 antenna output shall consist of a
reconnaissance data channel, telemetry channels, and synchro data.
The VHF acquisition and tracking equipment described is that normally
found at a tracking and acquisition station; however, depending upon the
locality and requiremente of the individual station, instrumentation may
vary. The equipment is listed in Tab 5 of Section 2. .

3. GROUND CONTROL AND DISPLAY. EQUIPMENT. The
Sround control and display equipment shall be capable of displaying

vehicle space position parameters and vehicle equipment status, euch as
vehicle tempera’ vehicle equipment power levels, vehicle
orientation rat: » pitch, roll), etc. It shall Provide controls for
acquisition and tr. ching equipment, and shall include a capability for
iseuing real-time commands to the vehicle. The ground control and
