The Second Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) Ground Terminal (STGT) designed to provide high availability command and control and improved services to users of NASA's space network in the 1990s and beyond is described. The space network, comprising the TDRSS, will be the primary communications gateway for Space Station Freedom and for connecting other user's spacecraft with their ground support elements. The STGT will contain a redundant, distributed computer system providing configuration and control of redundant RF to baseband equipment chains for thoughput of user data, for user tracking services, and for control and monitoring of the TDR satellites. The STGT will provide the following: (1) an interface with NASA's Network Control Center (NCC) for automated scheduling and control of the STGT; (2) a local TDRSS Operations Control Center (TOCC2) for local monitoring and backup control; and (3) an interface with the Domestic Satellite (DOMSAT) for data distribution will be provided by the STGT.
