CCSDS 412.0-G-1, RADIO FREQUENCY AND MODULATION SYSTEMS, SPACECRAFT-EARTH STATION COMPATIBILITY TEST PROCEDURES (GREEN BOOK). Recommendation 3.5.1 of Radio Frequency and Modulation Systems—Part 1: Earth Stations and Spacecraft, CCSDS 401.0-B (reference [1]), proposes a minimum set of S/C-earth station tests required to ensure compatibility for the cross support of one Agency’s spacecraft by another Agency’s earth stations. In order to have a common understanding and to offer a comparable basis for these tests, this Compatibility Test Procedures Report was written.
