H.1.4 DAS Service Modes<br />

There are three DAS modes: Any -TDRS, All -TDRS, and Specific -TDRS. Each mode<br />

provides MAR services, but with slight differences in service performance and customer<br />

responsibilities.<br />

Details on how the customer interacts with GSFC Code 450 and the <strong>SN</strong> Access System<br />

(<strong>SN</strong>AS) to obtain DAS services are given in paragraph H.2, below.<br />

H.1.4.1 Any-TDRS Mode<br />

The Any-TDRS mode is defined as near-continuous global service coverage via three or<br />

more designated TDRSs with up to 15 second service gaps during TDRS-to-TDRS<br />

transitions. It is intended to support an orbiting spacecraft with an antenna system that<br />

can be directly controlled and pointed at a specified TDRS by MOC commands. The<br />

spacecraft antenna pattern(s) should have no antenna pointing restrictions in the<br />

direction of the target TDRS. Figure H-1 is a high level depiction of this mode.<br />

Figure H-1. DAS Any-TDRS Mode<br />

The Customer MOC initiates the service by submitting one schedule request (Resource<br />

Allocation Request (RAR)), via the <strong>SN</strong>AS interface, designating the "Any" service<br />

preference for the duration of the Project's mission support. No further schedule<br />

requests should be required.<br />

The DAS automatically selects which TDRS(s) will support the customer’s request for<br />

service and schedules the necessary resources. Scheduling information is created by<br />
