Description
Summary:International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 08-11, 1968 / Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, California === The Apollo Applications Program will consist of a series of extended duration manned missions in low earth orbit. The initial missions are based upon equipment and techniques proved in previous space flight programs. This is especially true of the communications systems which rely heavily on the Gemini, Saturn, and Apollo communications hardware operating with the Manned Space Flight Network. Following AAP missions may include new spacecraft developments involving television, teleprinters, satellite relays and spacecraft data management systems. These developments are described briefly, but many of them are concepts in early development stages, and it is difficult to specify the configurations that will be flown.
