An assessment is given of the critical and enhancing technologies necessary to build the basic personal terminal (BPT), the supplier, and the Network Management Center (NMC). The experimentation plan for testing the Personal Access Satellite System (PASS) utilizing ACTS is detailed. The experiment plan gives a list of candidate experiments and describes the proposed experimental set-up. ACTS will be used in the Microwave Switch Matrix (MSM) mode. The Microwave Switch Matrix - Link Evaluation Terminal (MSM-LET) at the NASA Lewis Research Center will serve as the microwave front-end for the PASS supplier and the NMC. Link budgets are given for both the forward and return links between the supplier and the basic personal terminal. The equipment required for the experiments is identified.
