The report is the second of a series describing the current effort towards establishing a workable engineering simulation of the space-ground environment (see also AD-604 865). The report describes the simulation of ground station coverage of a vehicle from the end of powered flight to an arbitrary time in orbit. Signal strengths of several vehicle-ground station antenna com binations, as well as geometrical coverage, are simulated. A spherical earth model was used in the simulation, and the effects of atmospheric drag and orbital perturbations were neglected. (Author)
