The DSN (Deep Space Network) mission support requirements for Nimbus 7 are summarized. The basic Nimbus series spacecraft is attitude-stabilized in three axes, with the yaw axis always pointing towards the center of the Earth. The spacecraft provides a stable platform, power, command, and data handling support for active and passive sensors for daily global surveillance of the atmosphere, and for mapping details of the atmospheric structure and Earth surface from satellite altitudes. The Nimbus 7 mission objectives are outlined and the DSN support requirements are defined through the presentation of tables and narratives describing the spacecraft flight profile; DSN support coverage; S-band frequency assignments; support parameters for telemetry, command and support systems; and tracking support responsibility.
