NASA also supported, on a reimbursable basis, projects of the Department of Defense, other government agencies, commercial firms, and other countries and international organizations engaged in space research activities. The tracking and data acquisition program supported sounding rock- ets and balloons, research aircraft, Earth orbital and suborbital missions, planetary spacecraft, and deep space probes. The support included: • Tracking to determine the position and trajectory of vehicles in space • Acquisition of scientific and Earth applications data from on-board experiments and sensors • Acquisition of engineering data on the performance of spacecraft and launch vehicle systems • Transmission of commands from ground stations to spacecraft • Communication with astronauts • Communication of information among the various ground facilities and central control centers • Processing of data acquired from launch vehicles and spacecraft • Reception of television transmission from space vehicles NASA established three types of support capabilities: • The Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network (STDN) supported low- Earth orbital missions. • The Deep Space Network (DSN) supported planetary and interplane- tary flight missions. It also supported geosynchronous and highly elliptical missions and those in low-Earth orbit not compatible with the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). • The TDRSS provided low-Earth orbital mission support and reduced NASA’s need for an extensive network of ground stations.

  • Accuracy, Precision, and Performance of Satellite Telemetry for Monitoring Wolf Movements Within Each Category
    Accuracy, Precision, and Pedormance of Satellite Telemetry for Monitoring Wolf Movements • Warren B. Ballard, Daniel J. Reed, Steven G. Fancy, and Paul R. Krausman We placed 23 satellite platform transmitter terminals (1.08-I.22 kg) on wolves in northwest Alaska during I987 through I99I. Male and female wolves aged I 0 months to eight years were monitored with no apparent adverse effects on them. We obtained 3 ,80I relocations from the 23 transmitters, an average of 29 relocations/month from each. Transmitters were programmed to operate four to six hours every two days and had a mean life span (including days before and after use on a wolf) of253 days (range= 67-482 days). Average life span while attached to wolves was I8I days (range= 50-366 days). Accuracy of I ,885 relocations at seven known sites varied among transmitters and averaged 336 and 728 mfor best and low quality relocations, respectively. The estimated locations from several transmitters were biased toward south and west directions. Costs (I992) per satellite relocation averaged about $44 U.S., in comparison to about $I66 with conventional telemetry methods using fixed-wing aircraft. Satellite telemetry has great potential for providing improved data sets for evaluation ofwolfterritory sizes and movements, but currently lacks accuracy and precision for detailed habitat or landscape use assessments.

  • Radio Telemetry and Bird Movements
    95 Chapter 7 Radio telemetry and bird movements RADIO TELEMETRY Understanding the role that wildlife play in the ecology of AI viruses requires knowledge of the detailed movements of wild birds over varying spatial scales. On the one hand, con- currence between the migratory patterns of some Palearctic breeding waterbirds and the spread of the H5N1 HPAI virus across Asia and Europe in the northern fall and winter of 2005/06 illustrates the importance of studies designed to identify specific migratory routes, stopover points and non-breeding areas that may span entire continents. On the other hand, studies documenting the local movements of wild birds between poultry farms and nearby wetlands may be invaluable to establish viable pathways of H5N1 HPAI transmission from poultry to wildlife (or vice versa). Radio telemetry is a technique for determining bird movements over areas ranging in size from the restricted breeding territories of resident bird species to the movement pat- terns of international migratory species (reviewed in Fuller et al. 2005). Radio telemetry has important applications in the investigation of infectious diseases of migratory species, including H5N1 AI virus ecology. Specific objectives for AI-related telemetry studies have already been identified during the FAO-OIE International Scientific Conference on Avian Influenza and Wild Birds in May 200610. In fact, telemetry projects tracking the local move- ments and migration routes of wild birds identified as potential virus hosts are already under way11. The basic concept of a radio telemetry study sounds simple; attach a radio transmitter to an animal and track the signal to determine the animal’s movements.

Telemetry works in a manner similar to any radio system. There is a transmitter source sending out a signal at a given frequency (e.g., a radio “station”) and a receiver (e.g., a vehicle’s radio) is tuned to that frequency allowing us to hear the signal (e.g., music or talk show). Biologists attach radio-transmitters to animals, often a neck-lace style is used (Figure 1), and then a hand-held receiver and directional Figure 2.
