NASA-GSFC research developments evolve into HRSO satellite conceptsShaped omni and modular array-antenna concepts are being baselined for use on operations with the NASA space network and the High-Resolution Solar Observatory (HRSO) satellite free-flyer concept. This mission requires 16-MBPS return links, 1-KBPS multiple-access links, and a completely redundant set of gimballed antennas to support these links with 90-percent continuous coverage from TDRSS. Here, attention is given to the ways in which the flexibility of these components enabled mission planners to trade off spacecraft options without sacrificing mission objectives.
