The major objective of the Deep Space Network in the period 1983-2000 is the fulfillment of the extremely diverse telecommunications requirements of the known and anticipated users. Deep space exploration projects will continue to occupy a dominant role, although in the mid-1980s, with the completion of the Networks Consolidation Program, high Earth orbiter projects will become substantial users of the Network. Also playing an increasingly important role in the Network of the next decade will be non-flight projects, such as Geodynamics, Radio Astronomy, Radar Astronomy, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). The major challenge in meeting the primary Network objective of the next decade will be that of providing increased performance as required by users at costs which can be borne by NASA in an environment of limited resources. Emphasis will be on increased commonality, flexibility, and automation to reduce maintenance and operations costs, and lower mission costs.
