The susceptibility of a synchronous satellite to interference as compared with a low orbiting satellite poses a problem for command operations. The Applications Technology Satellites F and G (ATS F & G) are unique in that they will place the first high gain antenna in space that will reduce the need for high powered ground stations. The telemetry and command subsystem provides the necessary versatility required for the conduct of the many sophisticated experiments that will be conducted by the spacecraft. The subsystem provides continuous 24-hr operation of telemetry and command functions with complete redundancy to minimize problems due to RF interference.
