      This interface module defines and controls the format of the    
Radio Science Original Data Record (ODR) and Original Data Stream     
(ODS).  This stream is composed of records generated by the Spectrum  
Processing Assembly (SPA) of the DSCC Spectrum Processing Subsystem   
(DSP), using the Radio Science software of the DSP, which is          
designated SPA-R.  Additionally, this module details the standard     
format data unit (SFDU) header used in transmitting the Radio         
Science ODS records in real time to the Space Flight Operations       
Center (SFOC).

B.    REVISION AND CONTROL                                            
                                                                      
      Revisions or changes to the information herein presented may    
be initiated according to the procedures in Section I (Introduction)  
of this document.                                                     
                                                                      
C.    GENERAL INFORMATION                                             
                                                                      
      The DSP-R is a computer-controlled subsystem that digitally     
samples a received spacecraft signal through the use of four analog-  
to-digital (A-D) converters.  The digitized samples, along with the   
monitor data necessary to reconstruct the signal, are recorded on     
tape, and/or transmitted in real time to SFOC.  Analysis of           
variations in the amplitude, phase, and frequency of the signal       
provides information on the ring structure, atmospheric density,      
magnetic field, and charged-particle environment of planets which     
occult the spacecraft.  Additionally, this signal information is      
needed for gravity wave detection.                                    
                                                                      
      The Radio Science ODR tapes, also referred to as Original Data  
Stream (ODS) tapes in this document, are shipped to the Network Data  
Control (NDC) subsystem for delivery to the appropriate project Radio 
Science team, or they may be played back via wideband data lines      
(refer to Module RSC-11-4A of this document) to the Ground Communica- 
tions Facility (GCF), where they can be processed in order to produce 
an Intermediate Data Record (IDR).  (Refer to Module IDR-12-1A of this
document.)  Each record, when transmitted to SFOC in real time, also  
contains an SFDU header, which together are encased in Standard DSN   
Blocks (SDBs).  The SFDU header is detailed in Paragraph F below. The 
communication protocol, the header, and the trailer of the SDBs are   
defined and controlled by Modules OPS-6-19, GCF-1O-11, and Document   
890-201.

      The DSP-R digitally samples the received spacecraft signal      
with 8-bit or 12-bit resolution and creates records of varying        
lengths, depending on the sample rate and resolution.  Table 1 lists  
the record length for each sample rate.  (Tables 2 and 3 list time    
consumption data and sample time offsets.) Each record is composed    
of (1) a header containing information on system configuration, time- 
tagged receiver local oscillator values, etc., and (2) a block of     
digital data from the four A-D converters.                            
                                                                      
      The DSP-R records data on 9-track tapes with either (1) a tape  
density of 6250 bytes per inch (bpi), using the Group-Coded Recording 
(GCR) format with a 0.3-inch inter-record gap, or (2) a density of    
1600 bpi, using the Phase Encoding (PE) format  with an 0.6-inch      
inter-record gap.  American National Standards Institute (ANSI)       
formats are used.  Only one tape density may be used per recording    
session.
