Single access range and Doppler tracking on direct links between spacecraft of category A or category B missions and Earth based stations, are considered. The ranging standard is applicable to all ESA spacecraft that are supported for range or Doppler tracking by direct links to ESA controlled Earth stations operating in the Space Operations Service. Requirements concerning spacecraft transponders and Earth station equipment for the purposes of range and Doppler tracking are defined. Criteria by which one may determine the extent to which the accuracy of the measurements is influenced by equipment effects is provided.
