ECSS-E-ST-50-02C, SPACE ENGINEERING: RANGING AND DOPPLER TRACKING (31-JUL-2008

ECSS-E-ST-50-02C, SPACE ENGINEERING: RANGING AND DOPPLER TRACKING (31-JUL-2008)., The purpose of this Standard is to: • Ensure compatibility between space agenciesʹ spacecraft transponders and the ranging and Doppler tracking facilities of the Earth stations for the Space Operation, Space Research and Earth Exploration Satellite services. • Ensure, as far as possible, compatibility between space agenciesʹ spacecraft transponders and other networks from which they request support. • Ensure an adequate level of ranging and Doppler tracking accuracy for missions conforming to this standard. Facilitate the early design of flight hardware and ensure that the resulting interfaces and system performances are compatible with given ranging and Doppler tracking configurations and specifications.
