This is the second volume in a series done at Manned Spacecraft Center, documenting communication techniques used in the Apollo Unified S-band Telecommunications and Tracking System. As stated in the first volume, NASA TN D-2208, the present document is concerned with detailed mathematical modeling of certain channels in the system. Specifically, this volume provides simple mathematical tools usable for predicting, approximately, the performance of various communications and tracking channels in the system.

This document is a functional description of the intended configuration and operation of the Apollo Unified S-band Telecommunications and Tracking System. In particular, this description applies to the link between the command-service module and the ground tracking station.The lunar excursion module-to-ground link is similar, and an equivalent description applies. The document begins with a short resume of the system's developmental history. Then the basic spacecraft and ground system concept are simply explained. Following are detailed descriptions of the communications signals, modulation...
