The Dynamics Explorer (DE) mission is designed to study the Earth's electromagnetic fields at varying heights up to 4 Earth radii. The DE-1 was launched on a Delta 3913 launch vehicle from the Western Test Range and was placed in a 561 x 23279 km orbit with a 90 degree inclination. The Deep Space Network (DSN) began to support this extended mission on February 1, 1985. Coverage consists of five passes per day that last for 45 minutes each. Information is given in tabular form for DSN support, frequency assignments, telemetry, command, and tracking mission responsibility.
