NTRS will experience intermittent outages over night, July 14-15 due to system upgrades. Please contact our information desk, sti.nasa.gov/contact-us, for any questions. We apologize for any inconvenience and will update once the system is restored.
Minicomputer-controlled programmed oscillatorTwo programmed oscillators have been constructed, each using a low-cost minicomputer for the calculation and control functions, and each contained in a single rack of equipment. They are capable of operation in a phase-tracking mode as well as a frequency-tracking mode. When given an ephemeris suitable for the planet Venus, these units maintained phase coherence of better than 5 deg rms at 2388 MHz.
