The Rosensteil School at the University of Miami will continue operation of a satellite communications facility for scientific research purposes. Through a cooperative agreement between NASA and the University of Miami, operational control and scheduling of NASA's ATS-3 satellite has been turned over to the University. Limited use of the LES 9/8 DoD communications satellites has also been obtained. A modest communications facility has been established by the University in Malabar, Florida to facilitate usage of these satellites for NSF-sponsored research activities. The ocean sciences and Antarctic research communities have regularly scheduled access to the satellites for voice and data communications in support of remote research investigations. The ongoing work to be accomplished includes: 1) continued coordination of oceanographic and Antarctic ATS usage; 2) the study and implementation of other communications paths (utilizing LES 9/8 and INMARSAT systems) between high seas and Antarctic users and the continental U.S.; 3) providing the capability for direct satellite mediated data network access via DECnet, TCP/IP and other methods. The communications services provided by this facility are important to the successful completion of many research projects at sea and in Antarctica.

迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔学院将继续运行一个用于科学研究目的的卫星通信设施。通过美国宇航局和迈阿密大学之间的合作协议，美国宇航局ATS-3卫星的操作控制和调度已移交给迈阿密大学。还获得了对LES 9/8国防部通信卫星的有限使用。佛罗里达马拉巴尔大学建立了一个规模不大的通信设施，以便利将这些卫星用于国家科学基金会赞助的研究活动。海洋科学和南极研究界定期安排利用卫星进行语音和数据通信，以支持远程研究调查。目前需要完成的工作包括：1)继续协调海洋学和南极ATS的使用；2)研究和实施公海和南极用户与美国大陆之间的其他通信路径（利用LES 9/8和INMARSAT系统）；3)通过DECnet、TCP/IP等方式提供卫星直接介导的数据网络接入能力。这一设施提供的通信服务对于成功完成海上和南极洲的许多研究项目是重要的。
