About two years ago NASA decided to reactivate its communications R&D program, which had been phased down in 1973. The new program focuses on three major areas: technology development in the 30 and 20 GHz bands for wideband communications; system definition for an integrated terrestrial and satellite-aided system for land mobile communications in the 860 MHz band; and development of system concepts and pilot networks for applications data services. The paper summarizes the new activities in the three areas and describes their status and plans.Sponsors
