ITU-R SA.1863 1RECOMMENDATION ITU-R SA.1863 Radiocommunications used for emergency in manned space flight (Question ITU-R 247/7) (2010) Scope This Recommendation contains specific guidelines for compatible use of the frequency bands 2 2
9、90-2 300 MHz and 2 025-2 120 MHz for manned emergency radiocommunications links. This emergency link is a low-rate/low-power reliable link between a manned spacecraft and the Earth, either through a data relay satellite or directly with a capable earth station and is independent from the spacecrafts
10、 telemetry, tracking and command links. The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that manned space exploration spacecraft and space stations require continuous radiocommunication with earth stations; b) that the technical characteristics and operational requirements of manned emergency sp
11、ace radiocommunication channels may be different from those of routine links between earth stations and manned vehicles in space flight, including for near-Earth, lunar, and planetary missions; c) that there are many advantages in the use of predefined sets of frequency pairs with specific channels
12、for manned space exploration emergency radiocommunications; d) that existing space research service allocations for radiocommunications could be used for emergency radiocommunication channels for manned space flight; e) that manned space flight requires provisions for emergency radiocommunications f
13、or the entire duration of a mission; f) that a number of administrations are either directly involved in manned space flights, or have space-faring interests, and may be able to operationally contribute to radiocommunications that have an emergency nature; g) that under emergency situations, a cripp
14、led manned spacecraft may have the requirement to communicate at low power levels using an omnidirectional antenna, and need to operate in a frequency band that has a very low amount of interference; h) that space research service allocations in the 2 025-2 120 MHz and 2 200-2 300 MHz bands generall
15、y have desirable characteristics for emergency radiocommunications links, recognizing a) that Article V of the United Nations Treaty on principles governing the activities of States in the exploration and use of outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, provides that, “States Parti
16、es to the Treaty shall regard astronauts as envoys of mankind in outer space and shall render to them all possible assistance in the event of accident, distress, or emergency landing on the territory of another State Party or on the high seas”; Rec. ITU-R SA.1863 2b) that this Article further provid
17、es that, “In carrying on activities in outer space and on celestial bodies, the astronauts of one State Party shall render all possible assistance to the astronauts of other States Parties”, noting a) that it is desirable to promote and encourage multinational collaboration if emergency conditions o
18、ccur during manned space flights; b) that an emergency radiocommunications link should be independent of the primary nominal command and telemetry links; c) that the use of space research service channels for emergency radiocommunication is not considered to be a safety application; d) that the sub-
19、band 2 293-2 297 MHz is a key band for current and future deep-space missions and should not be considered for emergency radiocommunications, recommends 1 that a manned spacecraft experiencing an emergency situation should use the 2 290-2 300 MHz band, excluding the 2 293-2 297 MHz sub-band, to tran
20、smit to the Earth, directly and/or through a data relay satellite (DRS); 2 that transmissions to a manned spacecraft experiencing an emergency situation, either directly or through a DRS, should use the bands 2 025-2 110 MHz or 2 110-2 120 MHz or both bands; 3 that unwanted emissions in the 2 293-2 297 MHz band from manned spacecraft emergency transmitters should meet the applicable deep space protection criteria stated in Recommendation ITU-R SA.1157.
