Although the design of the Apollo network followed closely behind the Manned Space Flight Network (MSFN) modification for the Gemini program, many site modifications were necessary to provide Apollo support due to the greater scope of the Apollo program. The Apollo program requires instrumentation for support of the S-I, S-11, S IV-B/IU, Command Service Module (CSM) and Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) stages. Command Service Module (CSM) and Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) stages. Support must also be provided at both orbital and lunar distances. Increased data processing capability is required for processing and displaying significantly larger amounts of information. The ground network requires the capability of processing both Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) telemetry and command data for the CSM, LEM, and S IV-B/IU. In various stages of the Apollo program, both tone (on UHF) and digital [on Unified S-Band (USB) and UHF] command capabilities are required. Also at various stages both USB and VHF telemetry links are required.
