Abstract

Six proposals for enhancing or expanding the electromagnetic spectrum allocated for communications supporting research in space, which will be heard by the 1992 World Administrative Radio Conference, are discussed. They will cover extravehicular activities, space operations, data relay links, deep space interplanetary probes, future planetary missions, and Earth exploration satellites. Of primary importance to most space agencies is the need to improve the status of the allocation of the space research, space operations, and Earth exploration satellite services in the bands 2.025-2.110 GHz and 2.20-2.29 GHz.<>
