Abstract

Increasing the information capacity of the Deep Space Network, a global network of radio frequency receivers used to communicate with and track interplanetary spacecraft, will increase the number and complexity of future space explorations missions it can support. Adding optical communications capability will improve the information capacity of the Deep Space Network. The imaging resolution of the telescope is one of the key factors driving both system-level performance and cost. This report describes the control systems designed to maintain telescope alignment.
