B.2 Selected FCS Power  

Conversion from telemetered FCS power data in PSTA to a real power in mW

\begin{displaymath} P_{fcs} = \frac{P_{max}{\times}tmd}{tmd_{max}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~(mW)\end{displaymath} (B.5)

where 


tmd	= telemetry data value = PSTA1TS or PSTA2TS
tmdmax	= maximum value of telemetry word = 4095
Pmax	= maximum commandable power = 50 mW
