Contract activities on ISS Russian Segment
Experiment GTS-2
Objective:
Study of physical conditions, in which precise time signal and data signal generated by GTS hardware are downlinked by means of special ground receivers.
Task:
Delivery of electronics unit GTS-2 with refurbished performance to the ISS RS, which will allow to receive signal by ground station with a higher accuracy.
Science Hardware Used:
GTS hardware:
- Electronics unit GTS-2;
- Antenna unit with attachment mechanism
to downlink precise time signals;
- RF cables;
- Spectrum analyzer kit.
Consumables:
- CD with payload computer (PLC) software.
Flight Equipment Used:
- Payload Computer (PLC) of OECS;
- TV Exchange Module.
Expected Results:
Dismantling and utilization of the old electronics unit. Mounting of the newly-delivered electronics unit GTS-2 to verify in real space conditions characteristics and accuracy of time signal downlinked from low near-earth orbit.
