TDRS Poster of the Northern Hemisphere

Visualizations by Cindy Starr Released on July 7, 2009
The Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS) comprise the communication satellite component of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). TDRSS is a communication signal relay system which provides tracking and data aquisition services between low earth orbiting spacecraft and control and/or data processing facilities. TDRS supports many of NASA's missions including the space shuttles, Hubble and COBE. This image was created as a background for a 6 foot by 4 foot mural for display in Building 12 at Goddard Space Flight Center. The final poster will include a indication of the TDRSS ground segment located newr LasCruces, New Mexico as well as insets of several of the spacecraft that TDRSS supports.
