Uplink-Downlink: A History of the Deep Space Network
1957-1997 (Washington, D.C.: NASA SP-2001-4227, 2002) by
Douglas J. Mudgway is now available in fully text-searchable pdf
files on the Web. This book is an excellent history of the Deep
Space Network (DSN), the critical component necessary for tracking,
controlling, and transmitting data to and from spacecraft. Now over
forty years old, the remarkably reliable DSN has quietly but
essentially functioned as a literal guide for a variety of
evolving, unique planetary spacecraft. ---- NASA History
