Abstract: The television requirements for NASA at the Kennedy Space Center provide a unique opportunity for systems design and development. Not only must the systems operate under extremely hostile environmental conditions they must also provide transmission and signal distribution over a wide geographical area, with minimal impact to the environment. The goal of the television plant at KSC is to provide to the various users, including the launch team, other NASA Centers, and the media, a NTSC RS-170 television signal of the highest possible quality, to act as source material for image analysis, media programming and launch commit criteria decisions. The television and transmission systems, much like America's space program, have developed through an evolutionary process, with remnants of 1960's technology meshing efficiently with todays state-of-the-art systems and components. The future promises even greater challenges. This paper will describe the systems and philosophy for television at the Kennedy Space Center.
