J. R. Hall Collection, 1967-1990.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100242

The collection includes files from 1967 through 1990 on various descriptions of systems and subsystems, design analysis of performance, parameters, interfaces and test requirements. These activities included all data systems, microwave and radio science subsystems. Also, there are files on radiometric tracking and navigation, the Mark IVA command subsystem, telemetry, monitor and control subsystems, surveillance stations, test and training support subsystems, microprocessor standards and equipment standards, system block diagrams, the Mark IVA receiver-exciter subsystems, S/X band microwave subsystems and VLBI operation. (Very Long Base Interferometer). Also described within the collection is the Deep Space Communication Complex VLBI system, which is an assemblage of subsystems at a Front-End Area (FEA) and Signal Processing Center (SPC). This system did define the design at each complex to form an instrument for receiving VLBI data in conjunction with other similar FEA's and SPC's. These instruments, together with elements involved in the monitoring and control and data processing functions, made up the DSN VLBI System. The elements external to the DSCC were located at JPL; they were portions of the Network Operations Control Center (NOCC) and VLBI processing area. Also, within the collection, there is documentation on the Deep Space Network systems requirements, RFI support task plans for electromagnetic compatibility, formula computations on frequency and timing systems and the station interface engineering. The collection is arranged as found by subject. This subject arrangement follows an alphabetic sequence. The subject titles were retained as file folder titles.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

Hall, Justin R., 1928-1998.

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6np9qn7 (person)

Justin R. Hall was born about 1928. At the age of 24, he served in the U.S. Army as a member of the First Guided Missile Battalion that the Army set up in 1952. At that time, his assigned location was White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico. Later, he worked for the Department of the Army, Ordinance Corps, where he worked on the Corporal missile developed at JPL. After the Army, working as a civilian, he was appointed as the Sergeant missile evaluation manager at White Sands, beginn...
