Inhaltsangabe

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The beacon mode service is a Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems telecommunications service aimed at spacecraft which are not communicated with via the Deep Space Network. It is primarily designed to relay a spacecraft's "health" information, and secondarily its telcommunications status. Beacon mode also enables spacecraft to communicate with one other on a daily basis, allowing for one spacecraft to act as a data proxy for another. The CCSDS tone beacon mode configures the transceiver to transmit a CW tone. It can be used to signal other spacecraft to transmit their data to an orbiter; however, its primary function is to transmit spacecraft health information.
