International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Within the industry, telemetry receivers are used in ground-based telemetry receiving
stations to receive telemetry data from air or space-based sources. Equipment for the
typical telemetry application is widely available. But when requirements create the need
for a space-based telemetry receiver to uplink data from the ground, what are the choices
for equipment? In such situations, adapting COTS equipment may present the only solution
to meet delivery and budgetary constraints.
The first part of this paper provides technical and contractual points a COTS supplier
needs to consider when bidding on a COTS contract. The second part of this paper covers
a project concerned with modification of a general-purpose ground telemetry receiver for
use on the International Space Station. The information within the paper is useful to other
engineers and companies considering contracts to modify COTS equipment for use on
Shuttle or other space-based projects.
