Design document for shuttle task 501. Shuttle carrier aircraft transceiver console (SED 36115353-301)

The flight data for the space shuttle orbiter (SSO) is transmitted via S band to a transceiver in the shuttle carrier aircraft (SCA) for relay to the ground during the mated portion of the approach and landing test (ALT). The transceiver is mounted in the SCA transceiver console for shuttle task 501 testing. This document defines the requirements for the SCA transceiver console, the design description, test plan for the console prior to installating the spacecraft equipment in the console, and the test plan for acceptance tests.
