UNITED STATES ANTARCTIC PROGRAM SOUTH POLE SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS UPDATE Nicolas S. Powell 15 July 2002 Raytheon Polar Services Company Denver, Colorado Raytheon Polar Services Company

0400 Mgmt Overview 2 Advancing Polar Science Raytheon Polar Services Company South Pole SATCOM LES-9 Service Ends - Message released 7/3/02 Ends 5 hours of early day 38 kbps inter and intra- continental service (mainly austral summer) Ends limited internet access possible during pass Increases dependence on HF radio teletype and data over Iridium (to be deployed this season) for operational message exchange with McMurdo No affect on science data transmission since LES-9 not used for this purpose

0400 Mgmt Overview 3 Advancing Polar Science Raytheon Polar Services Company South Pole SATCOM GOES - Status Lightning strike 5 Jul at FL teleport caused significant damage –20 m antenna not operating –TBD damage to electronics –Currently using small back-up system - 128kbps out & 176 kbps in –Restoration to FOC unknown Currently using 3 m GOES-BA installed last season on SPMGT platform - damaged feed & poor design precludes use of SPMGT Uses different modem, & SSPA than MARISAT Original SPMGT Modems to be replaced & incompatible with CONUS modems SPMGT SSPA can’t provide power required to close link using GOES-BA –May work with SPMGT Antenna (TBD) –Working with Supplier FOC GOES-BA data rate 256 kbps out, 512 kbps in

0400 Mgmt Overview 4 Advancing Polar Science Raytheon Polar Services Company South Pole SATCOM GOES - Status

0400 Mgmt Overview 5 Advancing Polar Science Raytheon Polar Services Company South Pole SATCOM GOES Plans Integrate into SPMGT –Correct SSPA problem –Replace modems at South Pole and FL Teleport –Install replacement SPMGT feed –Install remote SPMGT antenna/GOES-BA switches and controller - integrate into M&C system –Modify M&C macros Establish best throughput data rates

0400 Mgmt Overview 6 Advancing Polar Science Raytheon Polar Services Company South Pole SATCOM MARISAT (SPMGT) - Status SPMGT supports MARISAT mission at 768 kbps In/1.544 Mbps out Possible periodic terrestrial interference at CONUS ground station SPMGT Antenna Feed –Design required field modification last summer to eliminate Tx signal coupling/noise into Rx side of feed >Eliminated redundancy >One MARISAT & one GOES LNA string –Using “horizontal” feed horn connection only - “vertical” connection damaged and not field repairable precludes use of SPMGT for GOES operations Modems –Recognized problems with firmware and performance –Will not operate at T-1 rate on MARISAT –Periodically experiences uncommanded state change

0400 Mgmt Overview 7 Advancing Polar Science Raytheon Polar Services Company South Pole SATCOM MARISAT (SPMGT) - Status Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) –Incapable of full power out (250W) at GOES Tx frequency - can only provide 125W –Work fine at MARISAT Tx frequency Monitoring & Control System –Fairly stable –Device serial interfaces poorly implemented - leads to software conflicts in M&C processor & occasional system crashes or freezes Antenna Heater Control –Appears to be in good health –Fragmented design –Not integrated into M&C system

0400 Mgmt Overview 8 Advancing Polar Science Raytheon Polar Services Company South Pole SATCOM SPMGT Plans Integrate GOES into SPMGT Replace feed Replace modems Correct SSPA problems Upgrade & modify M&C software Install M&C Serial Communication Hardware & Software in Antenna Shelter & RF Bldg - Offloads communication processing from M&C processor Establish best throughput data rates

0400 Mgmt Overview 9 Advancing Polar Science Raytheon Polar Services Company South Pole SATCOM TDRSS System nominal & stable with few problems Planned outage Jul for scheduled Ku-band link antenna maintenance S-band link will be unaffected Latest satellite status report indicates TDRSS F1 still capable of supporting SPTR mission White Sands to RPSC HQ Denver private T-1 link to be installed 28 July - should alleviate CONUS terrestrial circuit congestion
