capability of r a t e stabilization.
The SCS is divided into t h r e e b a s i c s u b s y s t e m s : attitude r e f e r e n c e ,
attitude c o n t r o l , a n d t h r u s t v e c t o r control. T h e s e s u b s y s t e m s contain the
e l e m e n t s which provide f o r manu'al attitude control, a u t o m a t i c attitude

a u t o m a t i c functions.
The s u b s y s t e m / c o n t r o l capability allows the f r e e selection of s e v e r a l
m o d e s of o p e r a t i o n which f a l l within the boundaries of t h r e e e n t i r e l y

T h e USBS is p r i m a r i l y designed to be used as a d e e p - s p a c e c o m m u n i c a t i o n s link between the S / C and the MSFN. N e v e r t h e l e s s , on m i s s i o n 205

r a n g e of a MSFN s t a t i o n equipped f o r S-band operations. In addition, only
the USBS is capable of t r a n s m i t t i n g TV.
The USBS c o n s i s t s of the S-band t r a n s m i t t e r and r e c e i v e r combined
in a single e l e c t r o n i c package c a l l e d the unified S-band equipment (USBE)
and the S-band power a m p l i f i e r (PA). The function of the S-band P A is t o
provide additional power amplification of the USBE t r a n s m i t t e r output.
Two l e v e l s of amplification (high and low) a r e possible. A bypass mode is
a l s o p o s s i b l e w h e r e i n the S-band P A is t u r n e d off and t h e output of the
USBE t r a n s m i t t e r is s e n t t o the S-band antenna equipment a s is.
The
2 - k m c portions of the upper and l o w e r SCIN antennas a r e used f o r t r a n s m i s s i o n and r e c e p t i o n of S-band s i g n a l s . Antenna s e l e c t i o n is m a d e by
placing the S-BAND ANTENNA switch (MDC-20) to U P P E R , LOWER, o r
AUTO. In the AUTO position, the antenna will be automatically switched
if the signal falls below a m i n i m u m threshold.
The P M P is controlled i n conjunction with the USBE by the S-BAND
s w i t c h e s to provide the p r o p e r v o i c e and data inputs t o the USBE i n a c c o r d a n c e with the S-band m o d e selected.

S / C position d a t a to the MSFN during the launch, n e a r - e a r t h , and e n t r y
p h a s e s of the m i s s i o n . The function of the S / C C-band t r a n s p o n d e r equipm e n t ( f i g u r e 2. 8 - 2 0 ) is to effectively extend the r a n g e of the s y s t e m beyond
that which would b e p o s s i b l e using skin-tracking techniques only. Upon

switch to the proper antenna position. T h r e e microseconds a f t e r i n t e r r o g a tion, the t r a n s m i t t e r sends a response pulse to the selected antenna. This
3-microsecond delay gives the R F switch time to operate. It a l s o enables
MSFN personnel to simultaneously o b s e r v e the transponder reply and the
skin t r a c k reply on the s a m e visual display device (cathode r a y tube) f o r
comparison.
Two modes of operation can be selected: 1 pulse o r 2 pulse. Mode
selection will depend on the type of e a r t h - b a s e d r a d a r equipment that is
being used a t a p a r t i c u l a r a r e a in the o r b i t a l path. During the launch and
ascent phases of the m i s s i o n , the 2-pulse mode will be used.
The only external control f o r the C-band transponder equipment is the
C-BAND three-position toggle switch on MDC-20. The O F F position
removes a - c power f r o m the equipment; the 1 PULSE and 2 PULSE positions
apply a - c power to the equipment and s e l e c t the mode of operation. Activation and mode selection can a l s o be commanded f r o m the MSFN by a r e a l time command via the UDL equipment.

c. The FQR has a maximum recording time of approximately
30 minutes. To maintain sufficient t i m e f o r a l l scheduled recordings of
flight qualification analog data, the FQR m u s t be used conservatively.

switches to monitor 13 EPS, 6 RCS, 4 G&N and 1 ECS analog
measurements. Refer to Controls and Displays (section 3 ) for
information on.which measurements are selected for monitoring by
the auxiliary DC VOLTS meter.
The voltmeter provides a reading between 0 and 5 volts of
the selected measurement. By use of a voltmeter conversion chart
an interpolation of the value for the selected measurement can be
made. (Refer to section 2.)
NOTE The accuracy of the auxiliary DC VOLTS meter
(for the f u l l scale) is t1 percent at 75F and 2 2 percent
at 0" and 150F.

MISCELLANEOUS INDICATdRS.
Instrument markings f o r mechanically operated indicators
such as clocks, timers, and an accelerometer are shown in
figure 4-12 and described in paragraphs 4.1.7.1 through 4.1.7.4.
NOTE The accuracy of the S/C clocks and timers at
temperatures between 60" and 90F (and z e r o gravity) will
not exceed 2 5 seconds for 10 consecutive days (the arithmetic average of the daily rates). For environmental
conditions above or below this temperature range, the
average of daily rates for 5 consecutive days will not
exceed 30 seconds.

PERFORMANCE
NOTES: 1. Zero on the vertical scale indicates the maximum vibration experienced during flight. The vibration levels
are based on boilerplate and spacecraft flight test measurements.
2. Letter "A" indicates vibration time induced by booster engine exhaurt (influenced by the flame buckets) and
noire rdlected from the ground and launch pad.
3. Letter"'B" indicutes vibration induced by aerodynamic turbulence. As the launch vehicle velocity increases,
pressure fluctuations in the turbulent boundary layer (and woke turbulence from the launch escape tomr)
excite vibration of increasing intensity until a maximum is reached at approximately the time of maximum
aerodynamic pressure (MAX 0).
4. SPS engine operation provides the only significant source of C/M vibration during space flight maneuvers.
This vibration, transferred mechanically throughout the S/C structure, con generally be expected to decrease
with increasing distance from the engine. Since the RCS engines passes a very low thrust capacity, their
operation will only produce modest and localized vibration (mostly due.to iet impingement).
