This paper provides a general description of how the tracking and data relay satellite system (TDRSS) will be utilized by the Space Shuttle. The design approaches which were necessitated for both the Shuttle S-band and Ku-band subsystems are functionally described, and current performance estimates are summarized for each communications link. The operational advantages and disadvantages of TDRSS to Shuttle are briefly considered, and both the technical and operational problem areas which have been identified to date are described.
