A spin up test and a TDRS tracking simulation were performed on the AE-5 spacecraft before its end of mission. the spin up test showed that the Body Horizon Scanner could be successfully used on other spacecraft with spin rates up to 10 RPM. the TDRS tracking simulation showed that an AE-5 type attitude control system could be successfully used to point the spacecraft towards a TDRS for the purpose of transmitting/relaying data via the TDRS.
