An Analysis of Spacecraft Data Time Tagging Errors

Front Cover
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1975 - Aerospace telemetry - 30 pages
An indepth examination of the timing and telemetry in just one spacecraft points out the genesis of various types of timing errors and serves as a guide in the design of future timing/telemetry systems. The principal sources of timing errors are examined carefully and are described in detail. Estimates of these errors are also made and presented. It is found that the timing errors within the telemetry system are larger than the total timing errors resulting from all other sources.
