Abstract :
The mission of the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) is to support space vehicle telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C) and mission data requirements. The paper investigates the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) in order to determine whether or not it can support and/or augment AFSCN space/ground link connectivity
