http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733103727

Document marked National Aeronautics and Space Administration Contract No. NASw.6 The abstract is as follows: This paper discusses the various factors that influenced the design of the TRACE (Tracking and Communications, Extraterrestrial) deep space communications system, the choice of the operating frequency, and the selection of a suitable ground antenna. The configuration of the three different microwave communications system stations--launch, injection, and deep space--employed in the Pioneer III and IV experiments is given, together with a description of the computing and interstation communications system. A brief description of the performance of the TRACE system, its proposed development, and its future capabilities is also included.
