Nomenclature

Before proceeding further, the nomenclature used within the handbook will be briefly described.

An observation is a single continuous event, usually lasting for several hours, when SRT antenna is pointed to the chosen radio sources and all scientific and service on-board equipmet operate in accordance with the program stored in the SC on-board memory.

An experiment is one or more observations of a single source at a single frequency within a single proposal. Experiment codes of five characters are used in naming GRT related files. For experiments with multiple epochs (i.e. multiple observations) the six character observation code is sometimes used.

A tracking pass is a single continuous occasion in which the two-way link is established between a single GTS and the space radio telescope (SRT). An observation consists of one or more tracking passes.

A control session is a telemetry (TM)communication with the SpaceCraft (SC) in order to transmit defenite sequence of commands which will be memorised in the on-board memory, to receive TM-information from the SC, and to conduct orbit measurements in P and C bands. The duration of control session is from 2 to 4 hours.

Ku-band science data telemetry is the real-time link between the GTS and the SRT. The nominal downlink frequency is 15.062 GHz.

X-band phase transfer is the real-time up-down link between the GTS and SRT. The up-link nominal frequency is 7.125 GHz, and downlink is at 8.47 GHz.

C-band telemetry is conducted between the Control Station (CS) and the SRT. Commanding is done at the uplink frequency of 5.008 GHz, and housekeeping telemetry (and range and range-rate monitoring) at the down-link frequency of 5.884 GHz.

P-band telemetry is conducted between the Control Station (CS) and the SRT. Commanding is done at the uplink frequency of 0.770 GHz, and housekeeping telemetry (and range and range-rate monitoring) at the down-link frequency of 0.930 GHz.

A self-hold mode is such a state of the SC, when only necessary equipment is switched on to provide correct functioning of the system with minimum power consumption. In this mode the SC is always ready to receive commands from CS.
