STATION: APOLLO TRACKING OPERATIONS Prior to supporting tracking operations all Apollo stations performed a three hour station readiness test (SRT). This test was conducted in three phases. Phase 1 tested the station intercom (munication) system where all operator positions were manned. Each operator’s headset/microphone was tested in a roll-call sequence.
