International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1992 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / In the event of a NASA Space Shuttle mission landing at the While Sands Missile Range,
White Sands, New Mexico, a data communications system for processing Shuttle’s
telemetry data has been installed there in the Master Control Telemetry Station, JIG-56.
This data system required a Viterbi decoder since the Shuttle’s data is convolutionally
encoded. However, the Shuttle uses a nonstandard code, and the manufacturer which in the
past has provided decoders for Shuttle support, no longer produces them. Since no other
company produced a Viterbi decoder designed to decode the shuttle’s data, it was
necessary to develop the required decoder.
The purpose of this paper is to describe the functional performance requirements and
design of this decoder.
