The NASA Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network (STDN) in the 1980's will employ the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). The TDRSS includes a pair of geosynchronously orbiting communications satellites which will relay data from most NASA earth-orbiting spacecraft directly to a TDRSS ground station in the U.S. A description is given of the expected evolution of the STDN, the supporting NASCOM, and the integrated communications and data handling configurations that will be needed for NASA space missions in the 1980's.
